The classic dilemma of the mixed economy is to strike a balance between the public and private sectors of the economy. This book is an exploration of the dilemma as it exists in the 1980s and the policies available to influence the balance. The volume poses the problem in terms of how to optimize welfare by the use of the allocative mechanisms of public policy and private markets. While identifying decision criteria for the demarcation of public and private sectors, State and Market sheds new light on the ways in which the two sectors interact. The boundaries that have been drawn between state and market receive a reassessment in the light of phenomena such as structured markets, competitive bureaucracies and underground economies. An important contribution of the book is a discussion of the decision criteria applicable to choices bearing on the size of the public sector and the inclusion in the public choice process of efficiency promoting mechanisms. Theories advanced to explain public sector growth are set forth and the significance of cultural variables is explained. The book makes a valuable contribution to the important area of public policy and the mixed economy and will be of interest to political scientists and political economists.

In recent years, the number of scholars doing research and teaching on the nonprofit sector, the number of research and teaching centers dedicated to it, and the number of books and journals focusing on the topic of nonprofit organizations have all grown significantly. Nonetheless, this is the first book that explicitly recognizes and emphasizes the role and behavior of the nonprofit sector in the mixed economy. The book's twelve chapters present a picture of the nonprofit sector and its relationship with other sectors of the mixed economy and analyze theoretically and empirically various aspects of this relationship. The book offers new perspectives on the role of nonprofit organizations vis-à-vis for-profit firms and government organizations, a theoretical reevaluation of the relationship between government expenditures and private contributions, and a critique of the econometric studies of the "crowd-in" and "crowd-out" issues. It presents new analysis of the relationship between government expenditures and competition between nonprofit organizations and for-profit firms and new results on the Pareto efficiency of philanthropy, offering comprehensive statistical information on key variables in nonprofit organizations in comparison with for-profit firms and government organizations in several countries.
