| Abstract | "Based on documents and over 120 in-depth interviews with civil servants and ministers, this book explores what happened to the UK's fiscal constitution - the framework for planning and controlling public spending - under three different governments from the early 1990s to the mid-2010s. The book combines analysis of developments in the fiscal constitution under each government with vignettes that range from the funding of a new Treasury building to efforts to 'crowdsource' ideas for spending cuts. The book also includes chapters devoted to different aspects of spending control, namely capital spending, spending by subnational governments, running cost expenditure, fiscal forecasting for expenditure planning and the development of new accounting metrics intended to promote better use of public spending and public assets"-- Provided by publisher. |
