Book Synopsis
Government spending has increased in the United States since World War II despite the many rules intended to rein in the insatiable appetite for tax revenue most politicians seem to share. This book explains why these budget rules tend to fail, and proposes alternatives for imposing the fiscal discipline on our legislators.

Trade Review
"There are no other books on budgeting that approach this level of insight or breadth. Rules and Restraint is a fine, and finely crafted, book that will go right to the top of the list of standard textbooks for classes and references for practitioners." - Michael Munger, Duke University"
