Competitive Government

By: Chris Prior

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Competitive Government is a small book about a big idea. Over the centuries, much has been written about the nature of government, who should run it, and to whom it should be accountable. Very little thought has been given, however, to how to guarantee that government gives the best possible value on an ongoing basis. The result is that in many areas, the vigor and dynamism of previous decades has been replaced by torpor and paralysis. Government has expanded without a mechanism to ensure that it succeeds. Competitive Government addresses this challenge. Improving the performance of government is the “elephant in the room” when it comes to tackling the issues of national decline, and seeking ways to generate new prosperity and economic growth. In Competitive Government, Chris Prior sets out a new philosophy of government. It is one that no country can ignore and offers the prospect of billions of dollars of benefits to citizens and corporations. Winning governments will embrace competitive government to deliver first class public services.
