Synopsis
Thirteen chapters examine the use of market means to pursue public goods. Focusing on the privatization of government functions and the application of corporate management strategies within government, Harvard scholars consider the government's role as a consumer, its role as a service provider within a market system, market-based accountability mechanisms outside of government, and the advantages and disadvantages of the market approach.
