Better science at less cost
by Tim Ambler 2003
Up to £1b a year is being wasted on unnecessary bureaucracy in the research councils - we would get better science at less cost by allocating the research budget directly to the universities.

Customers Not Bureaucrats
by Stephen Pollard 2002
In value for money terms, when you add in all the bureaucratic costs, state education is now actually more expensive than private education. Why? Because too much of the education budget is wasted on inappropriate spending by distant officials. The answer? Devolve the budget to front-line managers. And do the same in health and social services while you're at it!

Empowering workers: The privatization of social security in Chile
by José Pinera 2003
In Chile, the Pension Reform law of 1980 introduced a revolutionary innovation. The law gave every worker the choice of opting out fully from the government-run pension system and instead putting the former payroll tax in a privately managed personal retirement account (PRA). Since 95 percent of the workers chose the PRA system, the end result was a "privatization from below" of Chile's social security system.

Getting back your health
by Philip Booth 2002
People in good health should be able to get part of their taxes back and take the money to a private health insurer or company health plan. This would give patients better choice, driving down costs and driving up quality as new healthcare providers bid for their custom.

The health care revolution in Stockholm
by Johan Hjertqvist 2002
The Stockholm "revolution" is a change by many small steps, a strategy for implanting modern incentives into a public structure. The health care system of Stockholm remains publicly funded, with open and equal access for every inhabitant, but the Council also contracts many privately owned operators to deliver the services.

Unbundling the Welfare State
by George Yarrow 2002
The welfare state has become so riddled with complexities, inconsistencies and perverse incentives that it now positively discourages low-income families against savings and insuring themselves for future needs. Professor George Yarrow of Oxford University, who wrote the report, states that means testing is like a tax on personal saving and that the government must focus on improving the market.
