| Abstract: | The argument in John Briscoe and Harvey Garn's paper, 'Financing water supply and sanitation under Agenda 21', is that the price tags approach adopted in Agenda 21 towards water supply and sanitation, as towards everything else, is mistaken. In general, they would seem to be right; exhortations of the Agenda 21 type have historically proved to be of little, if any, value . |
