A notable feature in cultural life is the growing demand to preserve and promote public access to historical buildings and sites, and artistic treasures of the past. Governments are increasingly involved in financing and regulating private attempts to meet this growing demand as well as extending their own provision of these treasures in state and locally owned museums and galleries. These developments raise important issues about the scope, content, and relevance of heritage policies in today's world. Written by two leading figures in the field of cultural economics, this authoritative book focuses on the impact of economic analysis on the formulation and implementation of heritage policy.

The Heritage Game: Economics, Policy, and Practice

Business & Money

Peacock, Alan

Rizzo, Ilde

Economics

Oxford University Press

The ten modules here cover both areas of particular concern in the teaching of science - organising the classroom for investigations, reviewing science coverage on a whole school basis - and the ways in which issues of more general concern in the primary curriculum (the multicultural dimension, planning for individual progression, assessment etc.), affect the teaching of science.

Public Choice Analysis in Historical Perspective (Raffaele Mattioli Lectures)

Cambridge University Press

Alan Peacock poses the question of whether the history of economic thought is an essential part of the training of scholars concerned with the study of public finance. He contends that the perspective gained by studying the origins of public choice analysis can offer an important stimulus to scientific progress. His first lecture, The demand for historical perspective, traces the decrease in demand for historical perspective. His second lecture, Public choice and the analysis of public sector growth, criticizes those theories of growth in government expenditure that ignore the political process. In his third lecture, The economic consequences of public sector growth, he extends the conventional contemporary model of bureaucracy. A final lecture, The calculus of consent and limits on government expenditure growth, considers the work of Knut Wicksell and Amilcare Puviani when seeking to explain ways of limiting public sector growth.
