Abstract
In A Government That Worked Better And Cost Less?: Evaluating Three Decades of Reform and Change in UK Central Government, Christopher Hood and Ruth Dixon offer a new study of the impact of ‘New Public Management’, introduced in the UK during the administration of Margaret Thatcher. Suggesting that Hood and Dixon present a valuable assessment of a theory that has long needed evaluation, Tom Thatcher argues that this book is required reading for researchers of New Public Management and the administrative reforms it introduced. A Government That Worked Better And Cost Less?: Evaluating Three Decades of Reform and Change in UK Central Government. Christopher Hood and Ruth Dixon. Oxford University Press. 2015.
