Abstract

"The Municipal Fiscal Crisis: A Framework for Understanding and Fixing Government Budgeting" by Mark Moses is a book that explores the challenges faced by municipalities in financial distress and offers potential solutions. The author argues that the root of the problem lies in the mindset of municipal managers and the misidentification of the purpose and scope of government. Moses critiques current budgeting practices and suggests alternative approaches such as scope-based budgeting. While the book provides valuable insights, it is important to engage in a civil and open dialogue about the role of municipal government and consider diverse perspectives.
