The Fear of Discretion in Government Procurement, 8 Yale Journal on Regulation 511 (1991)
Abstract
Buying things necessary to the pursuit of other government tasks is a pretty boring subject. It is not surprising, therefore, that the press reports largely on the discovery of $450.00 hammers in government tool chests and on the nefarious activities of the Wed-Techs of the world and their public sector allies. Media coverage thus encourages Americans to ignore government procurement or to think of it as both inefficient and corrupt.
