Summary: This book is a critique of the continuing marketisation of government. Its central thesis is that government deserves to be, and should be, recognised as a more positive economic and social participant than it has been portrayed by the neoliberal evangelists of market virtue who have refashioned much of government and society over the past three decades. Despite the magnitude and supposed success of these transformations in a number of Western democracies , experience has shown that the presumption that the market can outperform the public sector in delivering services efficiently and reliably may be far too simplistic and unwarranted distortion of the significant, even unique, contributions of the public sector.
