Singapore's success story has increasingly been recognised but few have told it from the perspective of an insider. As a senior civil servant and "mandarin" from 1959 to 1999, Ngiam Tong Dow served with the founding generation of political leaders and contributed to the country's economic growth. In this book, he reflects on these experiences, sharing personal anecdotes and perceptive insights of Singapore's early decades. He also boldly questions some of the policies of government and emerging trends in the country to suggest how Singapore must change to survive and thrive in the future.

As a book on public policy, this book is unique in addressing explicitly the role of human nature. Only with a good understanding of human nature can policy makers address their foremost needs and anticipate how people may respond to specific designs in policy. This way policy makers can avoid "unintended consequences." The book also provides a new perspective on the meaning of public interest, which is based on intellectual roots dating back to J.S.Mill and more recently Harsanyi and Rawls. Traditionally, economists have referred to either the Hicksian criterion or the Kaldorian criterion as the yardstick to whether a policy is welfare enhancing, not realizing that both of these criteria fail abjectly in producing a convincing test for welfare improvement. This is because ex post, typically some people will gain and some people will lose from any policy. The author argues for an alternative, ex ante welfare increase criterion that is based on how people would assess a policy if they were completely impartial and totally ignored their personal interests. It applies the principles to key policy concerns such as health policy, tort law reform, education and cultural policy, and pension reform. The healthcare reform proposals in the book illustrate the application of the principles. The author proposes a basic protection plan under which standard basic healthcare services are priced the same whether they are provided by public or private caregivers—at levels that can contain both demand side and supply side moral hazard. Annual eligible healthcare expenses are capped to alleviate worries. A "Lifetime Healthcare Supplement" that includes an element of risk sharing adds to patients’ choice and protection without compromising fiscal sustainability.

In Australia and New Zealand, many public projects, programs and services perform well. But these cases are consistently underexposed and understudied. We cannot properly ‘see’—let alone recognise and explain—variations in government performance when media, political and academic discourses are saturated with accounts of their shortcomings and failures, but are next to silent on their achievements. Successful Public Policy: Lessons from Australia and New Zealand helps to turn that tide. It aims to reset the agenda for teaching, research and dialogue on public policy performance. This is done through a series of close-up, in-depth and carefully chosen case study accounts of the genesis and evolution of stand-out public policy achievements, across a range of sectors within Australia and New Zealand. Through these accounts, written by experts from both countries, we engage with the conceptual, methodological and theoretical challenges that have plagued extant research seeking to evaluate, explain and design successful public policy. Studies of public policy successes are rare—not just in Australia and New Zealand, but the world over. This book is embedded in a broader project exploring policy successes globally; its companion volume, Great Policy Successes (edited by Paul ‘t Hart and Mallory Compton), is published by Oxford University Press (2019).

"In advanced economies like the United States, innovation has long been recognized as a central force for increasing socioeconomic prosperity and improving human health. Today, U.S. government policy seeks to promote innovation through a suite of mechanisms, from tax credits in the private sector to grant support for basic research, and from institutions like the Small Business Innovation Research program to the National Science Foundation. This book surveys key dimensions of innovation policy, synthesizing the latest empirical and conceptual research. It further investigates specific, actionable mechanisms that can accelerate innovative activity. The volume is organized in five parts. Part I considers the social returns to innovation investment and the case for public support of innovative activity. Part II examines human capital policy and mechanisms to expand the pool of innovative labor, including through schooling and immigration policy. Part III examines scientific grant systems for funding basic research, including the roles of institutions like the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, and investigates how policies can promote scientific breakthroughs. Part IV turns to tax policy, considering both "direct" tax mechanisms, like R&D tax credits, and "indirect" tax effects through corporate and personal income taxes. Part V considers entrepreneurship policy, focusing on how governments can effectively encourage new venture creation. Integrating across the chapter contributions, Innovation and Public Policy is original and distinctive on several dimensions. First, the chapters draw together the latest empirical evidence in each of their subject areas. Second, the chapters provide up-to-date analyses of innovation institutions and policy, including the conceptual frameworks and institutional designs that guide their action, grounded in the latest research literature. Third, and based in these new understandings, the chapters offer concrete steps and actionable ideas that can increase innovative activity and further unleash the potential of scientific and technological advance. The introductory chapter provides an overview of these contributions and synthesizes key insights and implications for policy"--
