Urban alternatives: public and private markets in the provision of local services

Abstract

Stein asks whether the way cities are organized affects how well they provide services for their residents. He weighs the small and large organizational choices every local government makes - from its paper flow and chain-of-command to its funding sources and contracting arrangements - against the real end result of services for citizens: sanitation, transportation, public safety and education.
