Niskanen refers to bureaucracy as the Leviathan. The assumption as that laws/institutions were needed to "control" the bureaucracy - acts of Congress - but apparently a more simple solution is to empower an unelected person and vengeful President whilst Congress does nothing.

Great journal. Considering submitting your B&F research.
As a new journal, Public Finance Journal is not yet eligible for a cite score or Scopus rank. However, if we had been eligible, PFJ would have had a cite score of 2.9 and a rank of 95th. Not bad for our first year in print. Want your research to have a similar impact? Submit now!
