Summary
"The bureaucracy's commitment to the public good and predictable decision making processes is an important prerequisite of economic growth. This study analyses how the rules and regulations that governed employment dismissal, promotion and remuneration of bureaucrats in the Grand-Duchy of Baden during the first half of the 19th century brought these features about. In doing so, the study builds on an extensive set of archival materials"-- Provided by publisher
