In many parts of the world, public enterprise is in crisis. Privatization programs are being widely promoted as the solution to many of the problems of inefficiency and slow rates of growth associated with public enterprise. This book discusses the underlying causes of those problems, and critically examines some of the solutions that have been adopted.
"Public Enterprise at the Crossroads" has a wide geographical scope and cuts across the political spectrum. The experiences of countries in four continents are analyzed, with explorations of current problems. The contributors find recurrent patterns; problems are often found to be political as well as economic, and bureaucracy and administrative confusion are seen as a major cause of poor financial performance. Yet since political aims, the economic environment, and administrative and managerial capacities vary so widely, universal solutions remain more difficult to define than universal problems.
