The Keynesian Paradigm and Public Administration

Alfred H. Bornemann

American Journal of Economics and Sociology, 1976, vol. 35, issue 3, 277-286

Abstract: Abstract. Keynesian theory in macroeconomics and public finance in the United States was compatible with and supportive of a parallel development in the public administration branch of political science that arose in the Great Depression of the 1930s. This was the theory that the initiative in achieving welfare goals should be taken by government agencies acting to resolve conflicting interests. In initiating and taking leadership in bringing about social change, the administrators expanded government into a new bureaucratic State.
