Health and education are both large industries, predominantly in the public sector, where efforts have been made to introduce market forces. After discussing the size of these industries, the chapter then discusses the move to markets, and the assumptions underlying the efficiency of markets in these industries. It then moves on to analyse intervention and various reforms, first in education and then in health care systems.
