Productivity and Public Policy (SAGE Yearbooks on Public Policy Studies)

Societal productivity affects every policy problem, including defence, inflation/unemployment, crime, civil liberties, and health. Dealing with productivity in terms of the key elements of land, labour, capital, management, and organization, Holzer and Nagel have collected essays that define key questions or considerations, explore the subtleties of derivative productivity improvement programmes, and offer conclusions as to pragmatic policy development and implementation.

`This is a volume that both documents the present heightened concern for productivity and points the way toward innovative analytic perspectives and practical strategies.′ -- The American Political Science Review, Vol. 79 1985
