description: This is the first book to address, within a common analytical framework, the numerous instruments or tools the public sector uses to carry out its objectives. Each has its own characteristics and consequences for program operations. Many problems attributed to poor management of public programs are really a consequence of the choice of tool that is made. Must reading for those who seek to understand not only how public programs work, but also how they should be designed.
