Getting out of business. Privatization and the modern state

Description

This program chronicles the rise and fall of the concept that government does a better job of providing transportation, power, or even employment, than does private enterprise. Case by case and country by country, it explains the philosophy of governmental involvement in business and examines the consistent results. The viewpoint is skewed in favor of private ownership and the privatization of government-owned or run industry; but the facts adduced are fair and equable, and the omitted arguments in favor of government intervention will spark research and lively discussion of the entire role of government.
