People have many good reasons to want a decent public education system, to want a well-funded health system, and to live in a society where there is less disparity between the rich and the poor. What is not always clear is that, almost without exception, public sector involvement makes sound economics.andlt;brandgt; Governments rarely get good press, partly because their statutory accountability, partly because commercial interests stand to gain from a retreat of government and partly because governments have to do the hard jobs that the private sector doesn’t want to do.andlt;brandgt; Governomics shows that by standing up for government, you are standing up for good government, efficient and responsive to our society’s needs. It’s a book for people who are fed up with dumbed-down debates on important public issues.
