Abstract:

By the time of his death in September 1993, Aaron Wildavsky had written or coauthored nine books and forty articles or book chapters on budgeting and fiscal policy. He was perhaps the single most important scholar in public budgeting for almost three decades. Although his early works avoided defense budgeting as too specialized, his later writings included an insightful review of defense budget issues and the defense budget making process. This report reviews Wildavskys work and summarizes his analysis of defense budgeting.
