As people reach for social justice and better lives, they create public goods that must be kept out of the market. When private interests take over, they strip public goods of their power to lift people up, creating instead a tool to diminish democracy, further inequality, and separate us from each other.
The Privatization of Everything, by the founder of In the Public Interest, chronicles the efforts to turn our public goods into private profit centers. Ever since Ronald Reagan labeled government a dangerous threat, privatization has touched every aspect of our lives.
However, citizens can, and are, wresting back what is ours. A Montana city took back its water infrastructure after finding that they could do it better and cheaper. A motivated lawyer fought all the way to the Supreme Court after the State of Georgia erected privatized paywalls around its legal code.
The Privatization of Everything connects the dots across a broad spectrum of issues and raises larger questions about who controls the public things we all rely on, exposing the hidden crisis of privatization that has been slowly unfolding over the last fifty years and giving us a road map for taking our country back.

Thanks. The USA had Reagan, the UK Thatcher. I think that was no coincidence.

Hi Webby I’m another fossil from 1948. Somehow, I don’t remember those days being so bad. There was more opportunity, and education actually benefited us. The rise of social justice and public ownership has ruined everything.

@Fusillade: the point is, that after “those days” Thatcher and Reagan did their best to dismember and dismantle the public education, housing, etc. that you enjoyed.

Yes I remember when old Ronnie told the sheep privatizing would result in less expensive and better services. I also remember how the dupes believed Reagan and the econOpriests. How’s that working out for y’all?
**The US has more power outages than any other developed country. Here’s why.
Our grid is outdated and rundown, but utilities aren’t willing to do much about it.**

US collapse is so close you can smell it, but at least shareholders will be happy right to the end.

Socialism is the death of America. Every die hard Republican knows that. That is why they are all want to abolish Medicaid. Especially for the elderly. Everybody knows that it is the eldery’s own fault that they have no money to cover their health care. Just like an girl was responsible for not getting pregnant, the elderly were responsible for saving money while they were earning a good wage.
Reagan was a closet communist. He said “Any person in the United States who requires medical attention and cannot provide for himself should have it provided for him.”
