Government by the Market?: The Politics of Public Choice
Recent decades have seen the study of politics invaded by economic theories, methods and techniques. This book gives a concise, non-technical account of these 'public choice' theories and examines their influence upon government policies in English-speaking countries. Issues covered include slimming the state, privatising welfare and restructuring government. Final chapters offer an alternative view of the basis of good government. This book offers a unique survey and critique of the ideas and influence of an important branch of political thought and its links with market theories.
