This book focuses on the need for publicly owned and controlled services - health, education, housing, social services, and many other services and utilities. It details the scale and extent of privatization, deregulation and commercialization of the public sector in the last decade and aims to show how the public sector is being restructured in the intersts of capital, rather than the community. "The Public Services Handbook" provides strategies to rebuild public services. It provides all the information which campaigners concerned about the future of the public sector require to rebuild it. It outlines tactics to increase worker/user control and to ensure the provision of quality services based around social needs. It provides an anatomy of accounts, budgets and finance. Drawing on many national and international examples, it is designed to be a valuable case for the defence of public services.
