Description: The use of vouchers has been widely and hotly debated for decades. But the fact remains that vouchers are just another tool in the government's tool chest. The 1944 GI Bill of Rights was a voucher; and vouchers for food, college aid, and housing have been in place for decades. This volume fills the gap in objective study of this subject, offering a framework for comparative analysis of specific policy issues related to vouchers. Its 16 essays address the economics, politics, and legal issues of voucher use and explore how vouchers are currently used in the United States and abroad for education, child care, job training, housing, and health care.
