Also across my desk this week:
Le Grand, J. (2007) The other invisible hand: delivering public services through choice and competition. Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press.
Le Grand, now at the LSE but formerly Bristol, served as a Blair policy adviser (2003-5) and here provides an analysis of contemporary policy dilemmas and possible solutions that achieves that rare aim of being both scholarly and practical.

a review of the new edition of the classic text on unemployment written by leading British labour economists:
Layard, P.R.G., Nickell, S.J. and Jackson, R.M. (2005) Unemployment: macroeconomic performance and the labour market. 2nd edn.Oxford: Oxford University Press.
The introduction to the new edition is a report (UK focused) on how our understanding of the causes of, and remedies for, unemployment has improved significantly since the first edition published in 1991.
