Contents Theoretical perspectives -- The British privatization program
Summary This comprehensive analysis of British privatization program offers insights into recent policies on privatization, competition, and regulation in a country that has by far the greatest experience with this growing worldwide phenomenon.

Privatization explores these questions both theoretically and empirically
