THIS ARTICLE DEVELOPS A FRAMEWORK AND LANGUAGE WITH WHICH TO ANALYZE VALUE CREATION ROLES OF GOVERNMENTS. TO ENCOMPASS THE FULL ARRAY OF GOVERNMENTAL ROLES IN SOCIETY, FIVE ARENAS OF GOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS ARE IDENTIFIED, AND THREE TYPES OF VALUES WHICH ARE CREATED BY GOVERNMENTAL ACTIONS ARE DISCUSSED. THE FIVE ARENAS AND THREE TYPES OF VALUE ARE USED AS AXES OF A MATRIX, THE CELLS OF WHICH INCLUDE JUDGMENTS OF THE SOCIAL VALUE CREATED. ADDITIONALLY, IT IS ARGUED THAT MORE VALUE IS CREATED IN DESIGN THAN IN MANAGEMENT OF INSTITUTIONS, POLICIES, AND PROGRAMS.

ACCLAIMED OR CONDEMNED, THE FISCAL LIMITS MOVEMENT ACHIEVED NATIONAL PROMISENCE WITH PASSAGE OF PROPOSITION 13 IN JUNE, 1978, BROADENING ITS SIGNIFICANCE FAR BEYOND THE CALIFORNIA LOCAL GOVERNMENTS WHOSE REVENUES WERE IMMEDIATELY IMPACTED. THE APPEAL OF THE CONCEPT OF LIMITING GOVERNMENTAL REVENUES OR EXPENDITURES SPREAD WIDELY. THIRTY-ONE OF THE STATES HAVE NOW ADOPTED ONE OR ANOTHER FORM OF A FISCAL LIMIT (ACIR, 1980). RECENT VOTER APPROVAL OF PROPOSITION 2 1 /2 IN MASSACHUSETTS DEMONSTRATES THE CONTINUED ALLURE OF SUCH POLICIES, AND THE ELECTION OF RONALD REAGAN TO THE PRESIDENCY CAN BE INTERPRETED AS PART OF THE SAME MOVEMENT.
