Originally reviewed in American Political Science Review: " Examples of corruption, favoritism and irresponsibility in federal government since World War II, drawn chiefly from the letting of war contracts and the awarding of tax amortization certificates, the granting of shipping and airmail subsidies, RFC loan-making and the collection of taxes."
