Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
This book examines the way governments have tried to do provide a similar standard of living and finance its social services across England. It reviews the economic theory that underpins thinking about the problems of providing services in very different parts of the country. It then traces the way governments have distributed resources from the end of the last century until today.
MoreLong description:
England is unusual in relying so heavily on central government to finance its social services. Citizens expect to be able to access services of similar standards wherever they live. This raises difficult theoretical and practical issues. How are the needs of different areas to be measured? How are the different costs of providing services in very different parts of the country to be assessed? This book reviews the economic theory that underpins thinking about the problem. It then traces the way governments have distributed resources from the end of the last century until today. It critically analyses current methods for three services - the National Health Service, schools, and housing.
This book is well written and is accessible to social policy undergraduates ... will be a useful addition to my undergraduate welfare finance reading list. It goes into more depth than Howard Glennerster's Paying for Welfare and covers a range of different issues.
