Description
This book outlines the phases which turn a state-owned organization into a full-blown privatized plc, via commercialization, corporatization and the so-called fattening-up prior to flotation. The book also covers a range of considerations, from price-fixing to Third World privatizations, and examines in detail the various camps of opposition, asking: has privatisation worked?, who exactly are Thatcherism's share-owning public?, and are the companies they own really more efficient?
