N2  - "Public Policy and Agent Interests," examines the "agency problem" in public policy, where public servants prioritize their own interests over the public good, leading to negative societal consequences. It argues for the need for public awareness, transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in policy-making to protect the public's interests and combat self-serving behavior within the public sector. 
This book therefore delves into the ethical considerations that must guide public policy-making, so as to ensure that the interests of the wider public are protected against the pursuit of the more narrow and largely self-serving interests of such public servants and their private sector collaborators.
