Pr e fac e
This updated edition of The Growth of American Government has two principal
objectives. The first is to review the course of governance over recent decades,
picking up the story from where the initial version of the book ended. My ori-
enting question during this survey was: has the scope and power of govern-
ment grown? Answering this query requires the inspection of evidence on
several dimensions of governance, particularly legislative actions concerning
public functions, public finance, administrative capacity, and legal rulings.
This objective continues the primary mission of the first edition, which has
undergone some rewriting and updating. The new chapter on “The Debate
Over ‘Big’ Government” examines key elements of governance over recent de-
cades, but especially since 1992, covering the presidential administrations of
Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama.
The second objective is to address an omission in the first edition. With
some exceptions, principally the Great Debate during the transition era (1880s–
1920s) and my review of the Reagan years, I had said little about the argument
over expansion of government. My original purpose of the book was to trace
the course of the governing process over a hundred years, focusing on the ac-
cumulation of functions, the evolution of administrative capacity, the restruc-
turing of public finance, and shifts in civic ideology. Although the expansion
of government elicited ongoing criticism, I had not emphasized the point. The
updated edition gives more attention to this side of the story. Chapter 11 identi-
fies critics of “big” government, reviews their complaints, and suggests reasons
for the remarkable resurgence of the Republican Party. As with the first edi-
xiii
xiv Pr eface
tion, my goal is describe and explain these developments, without taking sides
in political disputes. The Growth of American Government is a history book, not
an editorial polemic.
Although not an objective per se, a third consideration has influenced my
approach to the updated edition. I have kept the concept of state building more
firmly in mind than I did for the first edition. The term originated with politi
cal scientists. Few historians explicitly used “state building” as a theoretic con-
struct when I began outlining this book twenty-five years ago. Now the con-
cept has penetrated historical studies. A more explicit concern with the state
as a semiautonomous entity facilitates my synthesis of the debate over govern-
ment during the past quarter century, for the power and the reach of govern-
ment (some would say “intrusiveness”) is a central irritant to conservatives,
and certainly a concern to many liberals. While I do not explicitly address the
literature of state building in this book, works in this genre have influenced
my thinking about contemporary governance, as well as my research on the
American state during the long nineteenth century.
On the other hand, I have not changed my position concerning historical
explanations of the growth of government. Some reviewers of the first edi-
tion called for a more explicit theoretical model that accounts for state expan-
sion. All I can say is that I see things differently. My study of state building
suggests that a historically contingent path works best as an explanatory ori-
entation. From this perspective determinants of outcomes varied with time,
subject, and circumstance. I have tried to demonstrate these historically con-
tingent interactions in chapters 3 through 8 on the late nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries (the “transitional” polity), New Deal, economic controls,
income security, rights and nondiscrimination policy, and taxation. Chapter
2 offers a longer essay on the generic features of these processes. If there is a
single magic bullet that accounts for the evolution of American governance I
have not found it. But there were several reoccurring motifs.
When I considered writing an updated chapter I thought I had a pretty good
idea about what had happened in recent American politics based on years of
observing and teaching about it. But once I began the new edition I realized my
need to dig deeper into the literature. I can’t say that I have fully mastered this
large body of writing, but I have sampled much of it. Fortunately, my determi-
nation to keep this book short allowed me to skip most extraneous details and
focus on the larger contours of recent governance. Here, as before, my goal is
to sketch patterns and synthesize trends, not to compile a compendium of po
Pr eface xv
litical details. The works in the bibliography recommend references for further
study. Besides making suggestions for exploration of governmental history, the
footnotes and the bibliography acknowledge my debt to other scholars. The
first order of business for the historian, indeed for all social scientists, is to get
the facts straight. This is no easy task. I am grateful for the work of many able
scholars whose concepts of analysis and synthesis of evidence has made my job
easier. The bibliography in the original edition and its short supplement, and
that for chapter 11, represents my cherry-picking from this rich field of schol-
arship. Largely because of indexing and definitional changes in data sources,
I have placed recent financial information in chapter 11 rather than revise the
tables in the original edition.
Observers have lamented in recent decades that political history has fallen out
of favor with historians. This is unfortunate and unwarranted. In my opinion
the history of publ ic life gets to the heart of the United States of America.
Many thanks to Charles W. Calhoun, Eugenie B. Campbell, Richard J. Jen-
sen, Anthony N. Penna, Michael C. Tolley, Philip R. VanderMeer, and John
Wilson for their helpful suggestions on chapter 11.
