Privatisations in Greece: The end of the road?

Περιγραφή:

Privatisation emerged, in the early 1980s, as the antidote to the ‘degenerating’ effects of the sprawling presence of the public trading sector and as the main instrument for rebalancing those states moving away from communism or communist countries wishing to reinvigorate their economies. Its lasting contributions were to operationally recognise the shifting line between the public and the trading private sector, create a space for providing more effectively and efficiently public infrastructure and social services and to bring in regulation to non-competitive markets. Although it has changed many economies in the last 40 years, privatisation appears to have lost its momentum.
