- 4. Incrementalism in budget making: Charles Lindblom
A1, 2 and 3 ✓ Correct
B2, 3 and 4
C1, 2, 3 and 4
D3 and 4
Correct answer: (A) 1, 2 and 3 — Pairs 1, 2 and 3 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
Explanation
★Pairs 1, 2 and 3 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3.
★Peter Pyhrr is the father of zero-based budgeting, which justifies every expense from zero.
★The First Hoover Commission recommended performance budgeting in the United States.
★Aaron Wildavsky described the budget as a series of goals with price tags attached.
★Pair 4 is treated as incorrect, since budgetary incrementalism is most associated with Wildavsky himself.
★Charles Lindblom gave the broader idea of incrementalism as muddling through in policy.
★So the budget-specific incrementalism is here tied to Wildavsky rather than Lindblom.
