Produktbeschreibung
A decisive chronicle of a young nation's finances, and the human, political, and practical forces behind them. A Century In The Comptroller's Office offers a window into how public money and public trust were stewarded across a century of state-building in New York. This volume turns a defining primary source history into accessible reading that speaks to historians and curious readers alike. It surveys the evolution of state financial administration through the lens of the comptroller's office, revealing the bureaucratic shifts, fiscal philosophies, and steady routines that kept late eighteenth¿century New York solvent and planning for tomorrow. It is more than a record of ledgers; it is a study of governance, accountability, and the human decisions that shape public finance. For researchers, librarians, and students, the book functions as a reliable librarian research guide and a practical research resource for academic study. Historically significant as a long-form reflection on state governance, the text connects to related works on state governance and the broader arc of public administration history. For both casual readers and classic¿literature collectors, this restored edition offers a tangible link to the voices and methods that built a modern state. Out of print for decades, Alpha Editions has republished it, restored for today's and future generations - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
