Reviews

""Accessible to all, here's a book to be read by all who rely on increasingly beleaguered 'public services'. We can see how reliant our politicians have become on what some have called 'policy - based evidence' rather than 'evidence-based policy'. Crouch shows with his customary incisive clarity why this hasn't worked and  just what's wrong with relying so heavily on markets and neo-liberalism."" Sir Tim Brighouse
