The Consulting Trap does a deep dive into how governments have become hooked
on private consultancy firms with dire consequences for democratic decision-
making, public accountability and accessible public services. Hurl and Werner
contend that firms like McKinsey, Accenture, KPMG and Deloitte increasingly
take responsibility for core public services, trapping governments in cycles
of dependency. Through orchestrating tax avoidance for the wealthy while
engineering austerity for the rest, these firms have created the foundations
for the deepening privatization of the public services, further entrenching
their power.
Drawing on case studies from Canada and around the world, Hurl and Werner
investigate how big consultancies leverage social networks, institutionalize
relationships, mine and commodify data, and establish policy pipelines that
facilitate the quick diffusion of ideas across jurisdictions. Drawing from
real world examples, The Consulting Trap offers strategies for how these
powerful firms can be resisted using people's audits, public consultations,
access to information requests, and social network analyses.
