The various Christian, Muslim, traditional (African), and secular (Western) ways of imagining and coping with evil collected in this volume have several things in common. The most crucial perhaps and certainly the most striking aspect is the problem of defining the nature or characteristics of evil as such. Some argue that evil has an essence that remains constant, whereas others say its interpretation depends on time and place.

For decades, the use of vouchers has been widely debated. But often lost in the heat of debate is the fact that vouchers are another tool in the government’s tool chest, a restricted subsidy that falls somewhere between the extremes of cash and direct government provision of services. This volume, which grew out of a conference sponsored by the Brookings Institution, the Urban Institute and the Committee for Economic Development, offers a framework for the comparative analysis of specific policy issues related to vouchers. It contains 16 essays, which address the economics, politics and
