Part 8/9:
As this commentary from Swenson illustrates, the drive towards reform—stripping government waste and promoting accountability—could set a new precedent for public administration not just in the U.S. but globally. The irony remains; many initiatives will create upheaval for those employed in public sectors, yet these may not represent 'real jobs' in the sense of contributing meaningfully to the public good. Instead, the prevailing goal must be a sustainably efficient government capable of managing resources wisely, inspiring a call for similar movements elsewhere amidst rising public consciousness of governmental responsibility and efficiency.
