The American Experiment with Government Corporations
Both the failures and successes of those organizations occupying a middle ground between government bureaucracy and private corporations such as Amtrak, the Tennessee Valley Authority, the U.S. Postal Service, and the Maryland Stadium Authority are analyzed. Rather than come to some definitive conclusion about the effectiveness of this type of organization, the author attempts to use the examination to explore how an American "experimental society" searches for ways to best provide goods and services.

Special Corporations and the Bureaucracy
This book reveals how the Japanese national ministries can exploit their Special Status Corporations (public corporations, supported primarily with public funding from a state-run banking agency) in order to intensify their administrative power over industries and local governments and to perpetuate the interests of elite civil servants by facilitating the migration to post-retirement positions in the private sector. The book explains why the existence of these organizations inhibits the Prime Ministers efforts to implement structural reforms.
