[136]-142) and index N2 - This book provides an account of real life experience in a social economy. By focusing on new evidence, it analyzes such themes as: the range of academic and policy expectation that have emerged in the developed world; the policies of New Labour in Britain; and the dynamics of social enterprises in Bristol, London, Middlesbrough and Glasgow.

This book's use and analysis of data should make it popular with academics in the fields of welfare, social and political economics ER -
