Local Authority Borrowing (1985) sets out the history of local authorities’ activities as borrowers. The early attempts to finance the building of toll roads and bridges are the beginning of a story which carries on through the centuries to the present-day market in local authority bonds worth over £48 billion. The book moves on from the history to discuss what reforms might be implemented to improve still further the efficiency of the market in the future.
