Special Offer. Normal Price £7.50, Special Price £5.00
Local government in the United Kingdom has never been less autonomous and less powerful than it is today. And this emasculation should be of concern to all liberals, for local autonomy makes possible the pluralism essential to a free society. This issue of Economic Affairs explores these debates, and includes discussions on the purpose, funding and future of local government.
