Vouchers and the provision of public services

"Vouchers and the Provision of Public Services provides the most comprehensive examination available of the use of vouchers. While many past studies have focused on the use of vouchers in a single service area, this volume examines a wide variety of applications. The studies herein discuss how vouchers can be compared to alternative delivery mechanisms and analyze the social, political, and economic conditions that might make vouchers an effective mechanism for delivering services."--BOOK JACKET.
