This classic text, originally published in 1948, is a study of the public administration movement from the viewpoint of political theory and the history of ideas. It seeks to review and analyze the theoretical element in administrative writings and to present the development of the public administration movement as a chapter in the history of American political thought. The objectives of \"The Administrative State\" are to assist students of administration to view their subject in historical perspective and to appraise the theoretical content of their literature. It is also hoped that this book may assist students of American culture by illuminating an important development of the first half of the twentieth century. It thus should serve political scientists whose interests lie in the field of public administration or in the study of bureaucracy as a political issue; the public administrator interested in the philosophic background of his service; and the historian who seeks an understanding of major governmental developments. This study, now with a new introduction by public policy and administration scholar Hugh Miller, is based upon the various books, articles, pamphlets, reports, and records that make up the literature of public administration, and documents the political response to the modern world that Graham Wallas named the Great Society. It will be of lasting interest to students of political science, government, and American history. Dwight Waldo (1913-2000) taught at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Syracuse. He was the author or editor of several books, including \"Ideas and Issues in Public Administration\" and \"The Study of Public Administration\", and for eleven years served as editor-in chief of Public Administration Review.

Can we control health-care costs?

High health care costs have left millions of people unable to buy health insurance and has broadened the state’s responsibility to protect low-income families through Medicaid programs. Increasing health care costs have created severe toll on fiscal management of federal and state governments. Prescription drugs are a significant part of Michigan’s Medicaid costs. Due to the economic recession and the downsizing of auto sector the number of Medicaid beneficiaries in Michigan has increased over the years. Thus it has increased Medicaid prescription drugs program costs at a fast pace, which creates fiscal burden on Michigan in administering the program and providing prescription drugs for its beneficiaries. Michigan has implemented several strategies for cost containment of Medicaid since 2001. These strategies have brought modest results in terms of cost containment in Medicaid prescription drugs program. This study examined whether a generic substitution policy of Medicaid prescription drugs in Michigan would be an efficient and effective cost-containment strategy. In doing so, it emphasizes three questions: First, will a generic substitution policy be an efficient strategy in containing Medicaid prescription drug program costs for Michigan? Second, if not in general, are there any “heavily used” brand drugs for which generic substitutes are available that can Michigan safely reduce Medicaid costs by implementing a higher use of generic substitution, thus saving the state in prescription drug costs through the generic substitution policy? Third, if the answer is yes for the two previous questions, then approximately how much money can Michigan save per year by implementing the generic substitution policy? This research found generic substitution policy as an efficient way in cost containment in Michigan Medicaid prescription drugs program.
