Summary "WIth a provocative point-counterpoint format, 'Rules of the Game' features to widely respected professors--of widely divergent political views--in a lively discussion of how government works. Phillip Magness, a Texas Republican, and Paul Weissburg, a left-wing liberal, go head to head on such topics as 'good' public administration, Congress, big business, and everyone's favorite bugaboo, bureaucratic dysfunction."--Container.
