This classic text, originally published in 1948, is a study of the public administration movement from the viewpoint of political theory and the history of ideas. It seeks to review and analyze the theoretical element in administrative writings and to present the development of the public administration movement as a chapter in the history of American political thought.The objectives of The Administrative State are to assist students of administration to view their subject in historical perspective and to appraise the theoretical content of their literature. It is also hoped that this book may assist students of American culture by illuminating an important development of the first half of the twentieth century. It thus should serve political scientists whose interests lie in the field of public administration or in the study of bureaucracy as a political issue; the public administrator interested in the philosophic background of his service; and the historian who seeks an understanding of major governmental developments.This study, now with a new introduction by public policy and administration scholar Hugh Miller, is based upon the various books, articles, pamphlets, reports, and records that make up the literature of public administration, and documents the political response to the modern world that Graham Wallas named the Great Society. It will be of lasting interest to students of political science, government, and American history.

Excerpt from The National Administration of the United States of America Such a study should be of service not only for itself, but also as a model, to some extent at least, for State and local administration. For, with its defects, the national administration presents an organized system, where responsibility can be fixed and a fair degree of efficiency secured; and contrasts sharply with the disorganized and heterogeneous mass of administrative officials in our states, cities and other local districts. And it may be hoped that an orderly presentation of the national system may have some influence in securing a degree of organization where there is now little but chaos. In the main the book has been written from the primary official records: the Constitution of the United States, the statutes of Congress, administrative reports and judicial decisions. But I have not hesitated to make use also of statements from unofficial sources written by those who have had opportunity for more thorough observation and investigation in particular branches of the administrative service than is possible for any one person covering so wide a field. And in many matters I have been able to rely on personal acquaintance with the administration in action. References at the beginning of each chapter furnish a select bibliography, covering the most valuable and accessible printed material bearing directly on the subjects here considered. These, however, do not include references to all of the original statutes or to the periodical reports of the various departments and bureaus. Additional information may be discovered scattered through the treatises on American history, government and law, and in the volumes of judicial reports of the United States courts. Finally, for a complete study of the national administration, there is a vast accumulation of unpublished records in the archives of the various government offices.
