About the product

The task of creating a viable state for the twenty-first century is now one of the most important challenges for governments and people throughout the world. This Report takes a look at the 'shrinking state', as epitomized in the reduction of government spending and size, a situation which has taken a negative toll on poverty, economic and social inequality, health, the environment and public education.
