Big government may be coming back into fashion. Public spending in
Britain -- especially on services such as health, education and
transport -- is on the increase. But how likely is it that more
spending will result in better services? In this new Yearbook,
Peter Warburton assembles evidence from Britain and from around the
world to examine how taxation and government spending have been
changing and to assess the effectiveness of government activity. He
investigates the scale and scope of government, over time and in
comparison with other countries, and sets out indicators of
government performance, considering not only macroeconomic
questions but issues now at the centre of political discussion such
as health and education services and crime reduction. Six essays by
leading commentators provide more detailed discussions of measuring
the public sector, greater choice in health, the poverty trap,
private education, imprisonment and child care and adoption. Dr
Warburton's concludes that 'If there is a simple message to be
gleaned from all the evidence, it is that an increase in public
sector resources is no substitute for excellence in resource
allocation.'
