Reviews

After nearly a century as the agency charged with preparing the annual compendium of the president's policy and management agenda as reflected in the budget submission, as well as overseeing its implementation, the OMB is perhaps the least understood federal entity. Meena Bose and Andrew Rudalevige have provided rare insight into the inner workings of this enigmatic institution and context for its behavior. Sean O'Keefe, deputy director of OMB, 2001-2002 This superb edited volume teaches a timely and vital lesson: improving federal government performance is impossible without a revitalized Office of Management and Budget. Each chapter expertly illuminates a different facet of OMB's pivotal roles in executive policymaking. In the finest Brookings tradition, this is an intellectually compelling and public-spirited blueprint for change. John J. DiIulio Jr., Frederic Fox Leadership Professor, University of Pennsylvania
