About
This book sets out a novel approach to public policy in democratic political systems. The idea is that government or executives are like investors who act of on behalf of the public. Political leaders make choices about which policies to follow and seek to get re-elected as a result. The book takes the well-known case of Britain where the governing party and Prime Minister make the key decisions about which policies to follow. The period is from 1971 to 2000,when the country faced a varied set of circumstances ranging from inflation, and unemployment to economic growth. The book shows how leaders coped in these conditions and used their control over policy tohelp get their governments re-elected. The book offers a comprehensive theory of public policy investment, which may be used by scholars to apply to countries with very different institutions to those of Britain.
