The cost of administering elections is an importantly understudied area in election science. This book reports election costs in 48 out of 50 states. It discusses the challenges and opportunities of collecting local election costs. The book then presents the wide variation in cost across the country with the lowest spending states spending a little over 2 dollars per voter and the highest spending almost 20 dollars per voter. The amounts being spent in the state are also examined over the election time period of 2008 - 2016. Economic events like the Great Recession had predictable effects on lowering spending on elections but the patterns are not the same across the different regions of the country. The relationship between spending and election administration outcomes is also explored and finds that the voters' confidence and perceptions of fraud in elections is associated with the amount spent on election administration.

This book discusses the challenges and opportunities for entrepreneurs in Germany, particularly in the context of startup culture and innovation. It highlights the risks and adventures associated with entrepreneurship and critiques the lack of adequate support and financing for innovative businesses in Germany. The author argues that despite Berlin's reputation as a creative hub, the city struggles with providing meaningful support to startups. The book also explores the role of social media, particularly Twitter, in fostering creative ideas and networking. It looks at international examples of startup support and contrasts them with the German approach, which is seen as conservative and risk-averse. The book is aimed at entrepreneurs, innovators, and policymakers interested in the dynamics of the startup ecosystem.

The separation of planning from doing and the preoccupation with administration, contracts, and scheduling over designing and building has been disastrous for construction. Lawyers, planners, risk managers, schedulers, and other administrative roles impede the ability of architects, engineers, and craftspeople--the professionals who design and build the things society needs to function. It isn't just a matter of getting things done on time--if you're the owner of an asset, manage a construction company, or invest in a project, overcoming these limitations is critical to your ability to compete and profit. Todd Zabelle, a recognized expert, construction CEO, and one of the founders of the lean construction movement, looks critically at each aspect of the industry, from production to construction to design to deployment to what the future holds, deftly analyzing where we've gone wrong and offering concrete, clear-eyed solutions for how to fix it. Zabelle's incisive wit and pulls-no-punches honesty are a refreshing antidote to the bland, overly polite, vacuous dialogue of board meetings and academic conferences. Speaking from the heart--and informed by over thirty years of experience in all facets of the industry--Zabelle delivers a much-needed wakeup call at a time when it's needed most.
