Cult of Efficiency

We live in an age dominated by the cult of effeciency. When it is used correctly, efficiency is important. It must always be part of the conversation when resources are scarce and citizens and governments have important choices to make among competing priorities.Janice Stein draws on public education and universal healthcare as flashpoints in the debate about efficiencies and their delivery. She argues that what will define the quality of education and healthcare is whether citizens and experts can negotiate new standards of accountablility. The cult of effeciency will not take us far enough.Stein, Janice is the author of 'Cult of Efficiency' with ISBN 9780660185613 and ISBN 066018561X.
