Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the relationship between the United States government and its public servants, arguing that Uncle Sam pays his employees wages that are so low that it is remarkable he gets any competent, efficient service at all. The author presents several examples and anecdotes to illustrate how the system is broken, and argues that it needs to be overhauled in order to attract and retain the best and brightest talent. The author also discusses the historical context of this issue, tracing it back to the founding of the country and the Jacksonian era. Ultimately, the book argues that the government's stinginess towards its employees is a false economy, and that it is in the nation's best interest to pay its public servants a living wage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334947704_0
