More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In the public sector at the moment resources are scarce - or at the very least finite and limited - how they are allocated is therefore of crucial importance.
This book analyses this process and examines the competing values that underlie the public service ethic, including the role of markets and quasi-markets, in the delivery of public services.
Topics discussed include:
* whether people should be denied the public services they need because public bodies are short of money
* what balance we should strike between markets and public organisations to provide public services
* whether the use of markets has gone too far and whether we need to return to a public service ethic

An Excellent Guide
23 Sep 2000
Format:Hardcover
Until I read Mr Fisher's seminal work, I had no or little interest in resource allocation in the public sector. After reading it, however, I consider myself a complete convert!! Mr Fisher makes what would appear to be a somewhat dull subject abolutely enthralling - in the same way that Hamlet is not just a play about a fictional Prince, this book is not just a book about resource allocation in the public sector, and I would advise anyone with even the slightest interest in values, priorities and markets in the management of public services to pick up a copy now. A perfect stocking filler!
