Add to basketPaperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that the public can maximize the aptitude of officials while minimizing the expense of maintaining them by adopting a range of practices. The author proposes locating functionaries in various government departments and institutions based on their level of appropriate aptitude. This would be determined by their performance on examinations administered by experts in the field relevant to the position. The author also recommends that officials be paid less than the market rate or even nothing at all, as those who are intrinsically motivated to serve the public will perform better than those motivated by financial incentives. These ideas are discussed in the context of a broader critique of the existing system of government, in which patronage, corruption, and inefficiency are rampant. The author argues that the adoption of the proposed reforms would lead to a more just and equitable society, and improve the overall quality of government. 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.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The essays which Bentham collected together for publication in 1830 under the title of Official Aptitude Maximized; Expense Minimized, written at various times between 1810 and 1830, deal with the means of achieving efficient and economical government. In considering a wide range of themes in the fields of constitutional law, public finance, and legal reform, Bentham places the problem of official corruption at the centre of his analysis. He contrasts hisown recommendations for good administration, which he had fully developed in his magisterial Constitutional Code, with the severe deficiencies he saw in English practice. The core of the volume consists of fourmajor essays directed against the principles and policies of four leading statesmen: Edmund Burke, George Rose, Robert Peel, and Lord Chancellor Eldon. Of particular concern to Bentham were the abuses sanctioned by the judges and their officials in the Westminster Hall courts, which, he argues, resulted in the denial of justice to the majority of the population. In this volume, Bentham not only displays the precise logical reasoning for which he is well known, but also his considerable skillsas a rhetorician of reform. This volume contains the papers prepared by Bentham to illustrate his ideal of constitutional law, summed up in the aphorism of the title, and to contrast it with practice under the British constitution, which he believed to be based on entirely the opposite principle.
