Title The Public Sector Impasse and the Administrative Question
 
Creator Albo, Gregory
 
Subject

 
Description Nothing could be clearer today, when speaking about the public sector, than that the centre of political gravity has decisively shifted from state-building to markets. Social democratic governments around the world, and not just in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia, have embraced the neoliberalism of the New Right. Gone are the negotiations and compromises about state policy typical of the postwar "golden age of capitalism." During this period negotiations about the future of the public sector were always cast in the quantitative terms of fordism: how much more should the "annual improvement factor" for workers go up; what should be the size of increase of welfare benefits; and where should new public sector programs be extended?
