It outlines the historical emergence of globalization and liberalization, and from analyses of over 50 case studies of best- and worst-case experiences of privatization, it provides guidance for policy and action that will restore and maintain the right balance between the powers and responsibilities of the state, the private sector and the increasingly important role of civil society.The result is a book of major importance that challenges one of the orthodoxies of our day and provides a benchmark forPrivatizationGovernment ownershipElectronic books.Privatization.Government ownership.338.925Finger Matthias252302Weizsacker Ernst U. von(Ernst Ulrich),1939-899424Young Oran R126788Club of Rome.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450419303321Limits to privatization2009480UNINA
