Striving to avoid technical language, the author introduces a  new paradigm that starts from the commonality of human nature and the  assumption that public policy should be impartial. Rather than playing  the interests of one group versus those of another, he argues  convincingly that public policy should aim at enhancing the \u003cem\u003eex  ante\u003c\/em\u003e welfare for everyone if everyone did not know the position or  the identity one would assume. \u003cbr\u003e  Using this conceptual device of the representative individual, the  analysis readily leads to policy implications that are both reasonable  and concrete in diverse areas ranging from health care, crime and  punishment to macroeconomic and financial market stability. The book  concludes with a chapter summarizing the various principles of public  policy practice that will meet the challenges of the new millennium.  These principles, certainly of interest to academics in social  sciences who are studying public policy, political economy,  international financial systems, and capital markets, should appeal  equally to practitioners, including public policy makers, consultants,  advisers, administrators, and public service trade unions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792372295\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-1575-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 223\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46265713393804,"sku":"9780792372295","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792372295.jpg?v=1770788838","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792372295","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
