'Transparency has become a mantra for many policy reformers. But the matter is surely not straightforward, as reflection on the virtues of the secret ballot quickly shows. The papers in this volume explore the large territory between transparency and obfuscation from both positive and normative perspectives.' Stanley L. Winer, Carleton University, Canada '...[this] volume raises many important issues and draws attention to many of the benefits and costs associated with transparency.' Public Choice
