SUMMARY:Problems with Privatization

DESCRIPTION:<p>Privatization has its&nbsp\;friends and foes. This mixed reception is largely because its consequences vary in different circumstances. However\, I believe that the class of consequences that have been considered relevant is too narrow.&nbsp\; In brief\, the literature and the debate have focused primarily &nbsp\;on two dimensions of the privatization decision: efficiency and accountability. &nbsp\;Proponents tend to stress the efficiency of privatization while critics flag the lack of accountability (and sometimes of efficiency).&nbsp\;&nbsp\;&nbsp\;But more than efficiency and accountability are at stake in the decision to privatize many publicly provided goods or publicly owned resources. Here\, I make the case for considering two other aspects of privatization:&nbsp\;&nbsp\;inequality and the erosion of important public purposes and public decision-making processes. I show that my analysis of privatization can shed light on two controversial cases: the privatization of education and of prisons.</p>
