Abstract
ABSTRACTThe discipline of public administration has long grappled with the issue of how much involvement by public managers is warranted in the political sphere. Legislative Budget Offices (LBOs) provide an intriguing case study in this regard. This article examines the contributions of three works that successfully encapsulate the difficulties, as well as the merits, of an institution constituted of public managers (economists) wresting political control from politicians (executives and legislators) to create value for the public. The review article thus shows why the experiences of Legislative Budget Offices can serve as informative accounts for scholars of public administration.
