Princeton University Press would like to congratulate Jeff Madrick and his book THE CASE FOR BIG GOVERNMENT for being a finalist in the 2009 PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction.  It was one of three books, and the only university press book on the list.  The award went to Steve Coll for his excellent book The Bin Ladens: An Arabian Family in the American Century.  The other finalist was Jane Mayer’s book The Dark Side The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals.
