   "Ungoverning: The Attack on the Administrative State and the Politics of   
   Chaos   
      
   "In this unsettling book, Russell Muirhead and Nancy Rosenblum trace how   
   ungoverning--the deliberate effort to dismantle the capacity of   
   government to do its work--has become a malignant part of politics.   
   Democracy depends on a government that can govern, and that requires   
   what's called administration. The administrative state is made up of the   
   vast array of departments and agencies that conduct the essential   
   business of government, from national defense and disaster response to   
   implementing and enforcing public policies of every kind. Ungoverning   
   chronicles the reactionary movement that demands dismantling the   
   administrative state. The demand is not for goals that can be met with   
   policies or programs. When this demand is frustrated, as it must be, the   
   result is an invitation to violence. "
