Given all this talk about Government Efficiency we should remind ourselves that it cannot be measured. We can measure government input – costs – but we can’t measure government output. That’s why in GDP government output is derived from government input - and efficiency is stagnant.

The International Sociological Association (ISA) deeply mourns the tragic passing of Michael Burawoy, a leading sociologist, Professor of Sociology at UC Berkeley, and the 17th President of ISA. Michael was fatally struck in a hit-and-run accident on February 3rd. His loss is immeasurable.
