Abstract
The analysis of the competitive delivery of educational services has o ften been couched in terms of an opposition between government regulat ion and the free market. This article suggests that regulation and mar kets may be complementary institutions that under appropriate conditio ns interact as a context for cost-effective equalitarian and socially accountable education.
