{"product_id":"privatizing-welfare-services-henrik-jordahl-9780198867210","title":"Privatizing Welfare Services: Lessons from the Swedish Experiment","description":"Focusing on health care, education, and elderly care, \u003cem\u003ePrivatizing Welfare Services\u003c\/em\u003e draws on extensive research on the consequences of introducing market-based mechanisms to deliver welfare services. Empirical evidence over the last few decades is summarized and condensed to policy lessons. How to balance equity and efficiency is a central theme. The book also addresses the challenges of financing the Swedish model of welfare services as well as the importance of management practices and public opinion. The privatization of service production has occurred despite major political controversy between two competing visions for the welfare state. Successful experiments have spread organically to neighbouring municipalities. What was done well in this process and what were the mistakes? The book addresses the fundamental economic challenges, the trends of the future, and the implications for institutional design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henrik Jordahl, M蚌ten Blix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198867212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198867210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/21\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2022","brand":"Henrik Jordahl","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993559073023,"sku":"9780198867210","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f2dc9d23-aba8-471f-bbde-f0ce2a7b29f3.jpg?v=1683325006","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/privatizing-welfare-services-henrik-jordahl-9780198867210","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
