Reforms for a Competitive Economy

This book is written in english.

Competition among national governments in the public serices they provide and in the taxes they impose is every bit as productive as competition among individuals or enterprises in the goods and services they offer for sale and the prices at which they offer them. This book takes a look into reforms which would make an economy more competitive.
