What is not always clear is that, almost without exception, public sector involvement makes sound economics. 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. 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. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Finance, Public|zAustralia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009124292 650 7 Finance, Public.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 924477 650 7 Economic conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919582 650 7 Economic policy.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 902025 651 0 Australia|xEconomic conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85009585 651 0 Australia|xEconomic policy.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008114310 651 7 Australia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204543 653 Australian 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Lyons, Miriam,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ no2017063084|eauthor. 776 08 |iPrint version:|z9780522867657|z0522867650 |w(OCoLC)904595321 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2232229|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
