The Other Invisible Hand
''The Other Invisible Hand'' is a non-fiction book written by the economist Julian Le Grand. The primary focus of his book is increasing taxpayer sovereignty by developing a market in the public sector.
The title of the book refers to Adam Smith's invisible hand. The Invisible Hand is the idea that individual choice benefits society more than does a government which assumes that it "can arrange the different members of a great society with as much ease as the hand arranges the different pieces upon a chess-board."〔''The Theory of Moral Sentiments''〕
==Overview==
Le Grand begins his book by suggesting that there are four models concerning the provision of public goods: trusting professionals, command and control, voice mechanisms and choice.〔(The Other Le Grand? Evaluating the ‘Other Invisible Hand’ in Welfare Services in England )〕 Out of the four, "choice" is the best way to ensure the optimal provision of quality public services.〔(Julian Le Grand: The Other Invisible Hand )〕 This is because choice, in theory, "creates incentives for providers to deliver what users want".〔(The Other Invisible Hand: Delivering Public Services Through Choice and Competition. By Julian Le Grand )〕 The key focus is on how to make choice work better. This includes "ensuring that there is genuine competition, allowing entry and exit of schools and hospitals, enabling individuals to make informed choices and preventing cream-skimming of pupils and patients."〔
In his conclusion, Le Grand recognizes that his arguments "have not, as yet, been embraced either by the social democratic left, or by the conservative or liberal right." Yet he continues to hope that "both political groupings will come to recognize that this is the optimal way to provide high quality, responsive, efficient and equitable services."〔(The Other Invisible Hand: Delivering Public Services through Choice and Competition )〕
