The burden of addressing the problems of urban society fall increasingly on cities as the federal government cuts back domestic spending.

Judgment Misguided: Intuition and Error in Public Decision Making
ISBN: 9780195111088 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. People often follow intuitive principles of decision making, ranging from group loyalty to the belief that nature is benign. But instead of using these principles as rules of thumb, we often treat them as absolutes and ignore the consequences of following them blindly.
In Judgment Misguided, Jonathan Baron explores our well-meant and deeply felt personal intuitions about what is right and wrong, and how they affect the public domain. Baron argues that when these intuitions are valued in their own right, rather than as a means to another end, they often prevent us from achieving...

Ministers and Parliament: Accountability in Theory and Practice
ISBN: 9780198278924 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
