The development of Canadian public services to the model of a corporation is not something that most of us think about. This book is an eye opener. It takes a look at such elements as education, the administration of justice and Health Care and shows how they have been degraded by this business mantra to make the corporate ethic of control and management the core element of these services. Why is this being done? The answer as to how and why are adequately and comprehensively covered in this work. Well researched and referenced you can't find something better or more up to date. This book goes a long way to giving the reader a clear picture of what has happend in the last 20 year or so years. I highly recommend this book for anyone in Canada or anyone who is interested in what is happening to public services.
