Leadership for America: Rebuilding the Public Service

This is the report of the 1987 National Commission on the Public Service, chaired by Paul Volcker (otherwise known as the Volcker Commission). It evaluates the current public service malaise, and provides analysis and recommendations for rebuilding an effective service. It considers issues of public perception, education, recruitment, politicization, and economic remuneration. By-the-by, it took Volcker et al. two years to publish the Commission's proceedings, and they don't include an index. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Three Rivers Press

The extraordinary life story of the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, whose absolute integrity provides the inspiration we need as our constitutional system and political tradition are being tested to the breaking point. As chairman of the Federal Reserve (1979-1987), Paul Volcker slayed the inflation dragon that was consuming the American economy and restored the world's faith in central bankers. That extraordinary feat was just one pivotal episode in a decades-long career serving six presidents. Told with wit, humor, and down-to-earth erudition, the narrative of Volcker's career illuminates the changes that have taken place in American life, government, and the economy since World War II. He vibrantly illustrates the crises he managed alongside the world's leading politicians, central bankers, and financiers. Yet he first found his model for competent and ethical governance in his father, the town manager of Teaneck, NJ, who instilled Volcker's dedication to absolute integrity and his "three verities" of stable prices, sound finance, and good government.
