This is the first ever book to analyse outsourcing – contracting
out public services to private business interests. It is an
unacknowledged revolution in the British economy, and it has
happened quietly, but it is creating powerful new corporate
interests, transforming the organisation of government at all
levels, and is simultaneously enriching a new business elite and
creating numerous fiascos in the delivery of public services. What
links the brutal treatment of asylum-seeking detainees, the
disciplining of welfare benefit claimants, the profits effortlessly
earned by the privatised rail companies, and the fiasco of the
management of security at the 2012 Olympics? In a word:
outsourcing. This book, by the renowned research team at the Centre
for Research on Socio-Cultural Change in Manchester, is the first
to combine ‘follow the money’ research with accessibility for
the engaged citizen, and the first to balance critique with
practical suggestions for policy reform. -- .
