Critics Review
‘There is much to be admired in this book. It provides a good, comprehensive survey and analysis of the theoretical aspects of privatization. There is much in this book for researchers, teachers and students; it provides a rich agenda of questions for empirical research; and it makes a distinctive contribution to the literature in the field.‘Keith Hartley, University of York, Public Money & Management, Volume 13, Number 2, April-June 1993`this book provides the reader with a rigorous framework for analysing issues such as the sources of inefficiency in the publicly owned firm, the effect of alternative forms of regulation on efficiency, and the role of trade unions in the privatization process, and more. The book treats those complex subjects thoroughly’Journal of Comparative Economics
