Rowan Gaither Lectures in Systems Science at the University of California (Berkeley), Alice M. Rivlin examines the contributions that systematic analysis has made to decision making in the government's "social action" programs education, health, manpower training, and income maintenance. Drawing on her own experience in government, Mrs. Rivlin indicates where the analysts have been helpful in finding solutions and where-because of inadequate data or methods-they have been no help at all. Systematic Thinking for Social Action offers important insights for anyone interested in working to find the smartest ways to allocate scarce funds to promote the maximum well-being of all citizens. a2811/PSEKP/2026
