Why is it important?
While the public sector does not embrace the private sector’s evolve or die rationale, its monopoly on many public services does not grant the sector the right to remain obsolete. Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank thus address the destiny of both public servants and citizens when outdated methods are continually employed to solve public problems. Readers are engaged in fruitful discussions regarding the faulty state of problem solving in the U.S. in order to overcome the public sector's legacy of inefficiency and ineffectiveness.
