Description

Throughout the reforming zeal of the period from 1890 to 1920, citizen activists shaped public agencies or non-public non-profit organizations, referred to as bureaus of efficiency, dedicated to bettering governments on the local, state, and national levels. Lee (government affairs, U. of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) examines the phenomenon thru detailed case studies of local bodies in Milwaukee and Chicago, and a short lived survey of others around the USA.
