Economic individualism and market-based values dominate today's policymaking and public management circlesùoften at the expense of the common good.

The book's arguments are steeped in a practical and practicable theory that advances public interest as a viable and important measure in any analysis of policy or public adminis.

  • ""Drawing on the concepts of the common good advocated by Aristotle, Saint Thomas Aquinas, John Locke, and John Dewey, Public Values and Public Interest offers a direct theoretical challenge to the "utility of economic individualism," the prevailing political theory in the western world. In constructing the case for adopting a new governmental paradigm based on what he terms "managing publicness," Bozeman demonstrates why economic indices alone fail to adequately value social choice in many cases. He explores the broad implications of privatization of a wide array of governmental services - among them Social Security, defense, prisons, and water supplies."--BOOK JACKET."
