  The aim of the study is to suggest an adequate indicator to describe comprehensively the efficiency of New Public Management (NPM) at a macro level by using the economic roots of NPM. The scientific community has not yet found a comprehensive indicator to measure the efficiency of the given school; however NPM is at the stage of its lifecycle when these researches really do need to be conducted. Both the political-theoretical and the economic roots of NPM are closely connected to public choice theory; this theory thus provides the bases of the model for creating the new indicator. In the article we do not only introduce the created composite index at an abstract level, but also present its formulation and methodological background.

  This short essay is aimed at commemorating Antal Jászay, or Anthony de Jasay, who made his mark at the interface of political philosophy and public choice, and 2025 is the 100^th anniversary of his birth. His relative obscurity is due both to his avoidance of the institutions of the academic world and to the ‘conservative anarchist’ conclusions of his philosophy. However, Jasay is a classic in public choice literature who should not be forgotten – which, of course, would require getting to know him first.
