Recenzje

This is an outstanding book, a major work of scholarship on a neglected subject. Through its detailed study of the OBR it makes an important argument about the nature and limits of technocratic governance. The attempt by the Truss Government to sideline the OBR (with disastrous results) makes the analysis more relevant than ever.
