ABSTRACT:
8 pages in length. Patricia Wallace Ingraham recognizes the incongruities inherent to public service amidst the United States political system. In her book entitled "The Foundation of Merit: Public Service in American Democracy," the author delves into such issues as civil service being in direct contrast to the overwhelming presence of bureaucracy; power and politics – the not-so-strangest of bedfellows; and the constant struggle to attain an equitable balance. The evolutionary path of political organizations can be traced back to the very first time man realized that he could exercise power over another individual. From that point of enlightenment, political organizations have sought to control virtually every element of human existence, an objective Ingraham claims often resides at the crux of political disheartenment. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
