Description
Government services have often been found to act as important sites of political socialization. Through interactions with institutions and functionaries of the state, individuals learn important lessons about their worth as citizens and the functioning of democracy. What then happens when governments no longer provide basic services and are replaced by the private sector? I explore these questions in the context of a large private school voucher experiment.
