Nicholas R. Parrillo examines the historical transition of American public administration from a system of fee-based compensation to the modern salary model. By analyzing the legal and political mechanisms that governed official income between 1780 and 1940, the work reveals how the shift away from profit-seeking motives fundamentally reshaped the structure and accountability of the United States government.
