It brings together six of Seldon’s most pivotal essays that discuss his alternative proposals for paying for ’public’ services rather than through coercive taxation. Specifically, Seldon focuses on the varied use of vouchers and the choices people have regarding purchasing or receiving such public services as health care and education.
