Anotace knihy

This work addresses a seemingly simple question: just how many people really work for the federal government? According to Paul Light, the true head count is nearly nine times higher than the official numbers, with about 17 million people providing the government with goods and services. Most are part of what Light calls the "shadow of government" - nonfederal employees working under federal contracts, grants and mandates to state and local governments. In this book he explores the reasons why the official size of the federal government has remained so small while the shadow of government has grown so large. Light examines the political incentives that make the illusion of a small government so attractive, analyzes the tools used by officials to keep the official headcount small, and reveals how the appearance of smallness affects the management of government and the future of the public service. Finally, he points out ways the federal government can better manage the shadow work force it has built over the past half century.
