The Rise and Demise of the New Public Management, 28 10

(Carroll 1865) As this implies, `Good', like its superlative, is often a relative term, meaning `good of its kind', or for its standard purpose, whatever that may be. Failing such a reference, the judgment of goodness is indeterminate, and cannot be applied or debated without risk of confusion. [Thus, the March Hare's statement is right in that the butter was best] as butter goes, no doubt, but not as a mechanical lubricant. (Heath1974: 68 N5) The same is true, of course, regarding the "Good" in "Good Governance": It is not good in any general or generalizable sense, but as pertains to what most of the IFI's in the 1980s thought was good ­ a perspective that today is probably not shared by many experts anymore, including those within the IFI's themselves. And indeed, what the respective IFI's held to be good in the 1980s was neo-liberalism, the Free Market as a world view, and thus the retrenchment of the state.
