Against the Profit Motive - The Salary Revolution in American Government, 1780-1940
Nicholas Parrillo
In America today, a public official's lawful income consists of a salary. But until a century ago, the law frequently authorized officials to make money on a profit-seeking basis. Prosecutors won a fee for each defendant convicted. Tax collectors received a cut of each evasion uncovered. This book documents American government's "for-profit" past.
