Summary

Summary

At the core of all policy debates on resource allocation is a largely unanswered and avoided question: if there really aren′t enough resources to go around, then who gets what little there is? In Part One of this book, original contributors deal with the moral and ideological questions involved in facing up to the reality of scarcity and dealing with resource policy. Part Two looks at the outcomes of specific cases in which elected officials and bureaucrats have attempted to solve problems of scarcity.
