Description:
The use of vouchers has been widely debated. But vouchers are just another tool in the government's tool chest, a restricted subsidy that falls somewhere between the extremes of cash and direct government provision of services. While the instrument is not new -- the 1944 GI Bill of Rights was a voucher, and vouchers for food, college aid, and housing have been in place for decades -- the study of vouchers has been restricted to a few controversial applications.
Expand description
This volume fills the gap. It addresses the economics, politics, and legal issues of voucher use and explores how vouchers are employed in the U.S. and abroad for education, child care, job training, housing, and health care.
