Author: DILLOW, CHRIS.
Title: The End of Politics. New Labour and the Folly of Managerialism.
Description: Petersfield: Harriman House Ltd, 2007. 9781905641178. 1st edition. A book about political ideas. "New Labour's main economic policies - tax credits, the minimum wage, expanding higher education and promoting macroeconomic stability - have not removed the trade-off between equality and efficiency. However, the failure of managerialism is not merely a failure of particular policies. There are deeper flaws in it. It fails to recognize the multiple and conflicting meanings of the ideals of equality and efficiency. And it assumes that governments have knowledge and rationality that are in fact unattainable." Pp.iv/293. Blue cloth, dustwrapper. VG/VG.
