Summary

This book explores the controversial subject of the public accountability of Public-Privare Partnerships (PPPs) and Private Finance Initiative (PFI), and the corresponding large sums of public money involved. It explains how public accountability works for PPPs and the PFI, and argues that it should be provided as part of the Economic Constitution.
