Why Governments Fail In Commercial Enterprises - Abraham Lincoln Lavine - Bog

""Why Governments Fail In Commercial Enterprises: The Fiscal Barrier Between Plan And Execution"" is a book written by Abraham Lincoln Lavine in 1914. The book explores the reasons why governments often fail when they attempt to engage in commercial enterprises. Lavine argues that there is a fundamental barrier between the planning and execution of government projects, which is caused by the way that government budgets are structured. He contends that government budgets are often inflexible and do not allow for the necessary adjustments that are required during the execution phase of a project. This can lead to delays, cost overruns, and ultimately failure. Lavine provides numerous examples of government failures in commercial enterprises, such as the Panama Canal project and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad. He also offers suggestions for how governments can overcome this fiscal barrier and improve their success rate in commercial enterprises. Overall, ""Why Governments Fail In Commercial Enterprises"" is a thought-provoking analysis of the challenges that governments face when they attempt to engage in commercial activities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
