I propose to do no more than to parade some of the contributions which economics can make to an analysis of these issues. Much of what I have to say may seem rather remote from the nuts and bolts of reform, but I believe that we have only two sensible options for local Government: scrap it or completely reconstruct it. Some fairly basic analysis may therefore be of value.
