Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the expansion of state and federal power at the expense of local administrative autonomy during the 19th century in Indiana. The author examines education, charity, corrections, law enforcement, health, finance, and taxation to illuminate this centralization process, arguing that many of the trends seen then are only continuing in the present day. The book traces the motivations behind this shift in administrative authority, and its effects on efficiency and economy. The author presents a well-rounded view of the topic that should make for insightful reading for anyone interested in political science, public administration, or 19th century history.
