{"product_id":"facts-values-and-the-policy-phil-ryan-9781447364559","title":"Facts, Values and the Policy World","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany policy analysts - and citizens interested in public issues - believe that rigorous thought should be uncontaminated by values, which are merely subjective. Policy analysis, however, is about what is worth doing and therefore inherently values based.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This accessible book reveals the damage that this contradiction inflicts on policy analysis and society. It also demonstrates the real-world failings of various influential alternatives to the 'value-free' ideal. By showing that values are amenable to critical analysis, this book provides a solid foundation for a comprehensive approach that reimagines the scope and role of policy analysis in contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phil Ryan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447364554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447364559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Phil Ryan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742564692223,"sku":"9781447364559","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/facts-values-and-the-policy-phil-ryan-9781447364559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
