Description
Book SynopsisSince the 1980s, the language used around market-based government has muddied its meaning and polarized its proponents and critics. This work hopes to reframe competing views of market-based government so it is seen not as an ideology but rather as a fact-based set of approaches for managing government services and programs more efficiently.
