520 _aPublic administration as a body of thought and field of study is changing from a paradigm dominated by political science to an eclectic array of theoretical contributions from all of the social sciences, particularly economics. Basic education and training in economics is essential to an effective contemporary public administration. Without a fundamental understanding of economics the "do-it-yourself-economics" which is practiced in policy-making contributes to basic errors in policy. - Reproduced
