But how has this 'audit culture' arisen and what kind of a world is it producing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCris Shore and Susan Wright provide a timely account of the rise of the new industries of accounting, enumeration, and ranking from an anthropological perspective, drawing on political economy, ethnographic observation, and genealogical excavation. \u003cem\u003eAudit Culture\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book to systematically document and analyse these phenomena and their implications for democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book explores how audit culture operates across a wide range of fields, including health, higher education, NGOs, finance, the automobile industry, and the military. The authors build a powerful critique of contemporary public sector management in an age of neoliberal market-making, privatisation, and outsourcing. They conclude by offering a raft of suggested actions to reverse its damaging effects on communities, reclaim professional autonomy, and restore the democratic accountability that audit culture is systematically undermining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47430090653932,"sku":"9780745336459","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780745336459.jpg?v=1774559772"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/cris-shore.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
