Notes

¹ ‘The regime remains obsessed with the unproven, damaging and demoralising doctrine of “quasi-markets”, based on an ideology described by Friedman as “liberalism” which has increasingly penetrated the public-sector reform programme … What has this formula produced in practice? Problems with quasi-markets and targets are just the tip of the iceberg. Every public service with which I am familiar has been made worse by the specifications with which they have been obliged to comply … Public-sector morale is at an all-time low’ (Seddon, 2008).
