How has the administrative state changed since the coining of the term in 1948?
What will be an ideal response?
Dwight Waldo’s term administrative state was used to emphasize government’s growing size and the enormous discretion that government administrators exercise. Since World War II, citizens have demanded more of government, leading to a multiplicity of administrative agencies, a larger number of civil servants, and higher government spending. Yet, the American government, compared with those of twenty-seven other industrialized nations, is one of the smallest in terms of outlays as a percentage of GDP. In fact, during the last two decades the U.S. government shrank by 2 percent, more than the governments of any of the industrialized nations.
