Product Description

Review
This important book develops a number of arguments ... The book is bold and ambitious in the way that it moves from concepts to policies ... The book is also powerful and compelling in its advocacy of quasi-markets ... works best as an analysis of how the diverse motivations of welfare providers can be channelled to ensure that benefits and services are both delivered more efficiently and become more responsive to the needs and aspirations of those who receive them. Social Policy and Society ... splendid book. The Spectator ... a compelling argument for the denationalisation of public service provision. Prospect This book is significant on two counts: for what it says and for who is saying it. Prospect Professor Le Grand is interested in both the theory and the practice of social policy. His book will therefore appeal to teachers, students and policy makers. In around 200 pages, it offers a lucid review in which empirical data and economic analysis are used to unravel the changing perceptions of policy makers. Health Service Journal ... a timely and welcome contribution to current debates about social policy reform. Health Service Journal ... an important book ... well written and free of jargon. Prospect ... a fascinating new book ... short, accessible and profound. The Economist His arguments are lively and original. John Rentoul The Independent
