Page ix Acknowledgments I would like to thank Allen Schick, Lance LeLoup, and Herbert Rubin who read and critiqued earlier drafts of the chapters I wrote, and the anonymous readers for SUNY Press who read the entire manuscript and made helpful comments. Particular thanks are due to all the contributors for their creativity, their time, and their interest. I would work with any of them again, at any time, and I hope they would think the same of me.

Page 1 Introduction IRENE S. RUBIN Budgets and Budget Theory Politicians look to budgeting as a source of political power and control over policy. Budgets allocate resources to particular people, companies, places, and interest groups, so that if politicians can influence the budget allocations, they can enhance their political support. Politicians also frequently attempt to influence broader budget policies, such as how low the unemployment rate should be or how much spending there should be for police relative to social services.
