Carolyn Teich Adams is Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Urban Studies at Temple University.
"Students and general readers will find it appealing — the analysis
is clear, straightforward, and virtually without jargon. It is
definitely a winner, combining readability with academic
sophistication."— Clarence N. Stone, University of Maryland,
College Park
"A major contribution of the book lies in Adams' insight concerning
the 'dual budgeting' process that characterizes capital spending
decisions. She goes beyond positing its existence to empirically
examine the processes through which it develops and its
consequences for democratic control of local policy." — Richard C.
Rich, Virginia Tech
