Public policy for the 21st century is a collection of essays in
memory of Henry Neuburger, an economist whose career spanned half a
dozen government departments, and who was for much of the 1980s an
adviser to the leadership of the Labour Party. His original
contributions to economic policy analysis across the field of
public policy are the starting point of the essays, whose
contributors between them cover the same broad span of economic
policy. The essays look forward to the new century and together
form an introduction to key issues in contemporary policy making.
Policy issues covered include macroeconomic policy, the impact of
the National Minimum Wage, the distributional effect of tax and
benefit policies since the 1997 change of government, the debates
around an 'urban renaissance', and the impact of European
integration on policy making. Contributors also examine and explain
debates around different approaches to economic analysis, and show
how analysis can be carried beyond the conventional confines of the
money economy and of the household as a 'black box'. The book
concludes with a discussion of Henry Neuburger's career, looking in
particular at the role of economic advisers within policy making.
This is a timely book on economic policy making and commitment to
making that policy work. It is important reading for students and
academics concerned with public, economic and social policy, and
government economists.
