In the following satire, the author argues that an obnoxious pest has overtaken traditional public administration and is known by a variety of different names including “public choice,” “rational choice,” and “principal-agent theory” (all collectively known here as ‘rat choice’) that has invaded the “garden” of public administration and policy. What if a super-potent rodent killer had been developed to suppress the loss and damage of the fruits and vegetables in the garden? A more truly democratic administration may have been more firmly established in the 20th Century. Public policies today also might be bearing more fruit for all of society instead of being eaten away by wealthy individuals and corporations solely interested in material wealth and not the public interest.
