[Susannah Champlin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent overview of the sector but now very outdated in the Trump era.

[Tiowidodo · Rating 4 out of 5]

In my opinion, what is ethical and what is unethical are often troublesome to discuss. At work place you must know where you live to judge how ethical (or unethical) your deed will be. This is a good book to read and to pursue questions about ethics in public administration.

It's a textbook--no additional comments needed!
