ENWhat is the role of government, and what is the role of the other institutions - let us call them private - institutions of society? Who should do what and to whom? At any given time and place, what is the best allocation of societal responsibilities among these powerful but very different actors? What is it that the family can best do? What can safely be left to spontaneously self - organised, voluntary groups and to the marketplace? What should government do? The word govern comes from a Greek root "kybern", which means to "steer" (The same root appears in cybernetics, the science of control.) The job of government is to steer, not to row. Delivering services - whether repairing streets or operating an airline - is rowing, and government is nor very good at this task. Privatization is a pragmatic policy for restoring government to its fundamental role, steering, while relying on the private sector to do the rowing. Privatization can be defined broadly as relying more on the private institutions of society and less on government to satisfy people's needs. It is the act of reducing the role of government or increasing the role of the other institutions of society in producing goods and services and in owning property. In general, both the public and private sectors play important roles, and it is increasingly common to refer to "public-private partnerships", a less contentious term than "privatization". A publicprivate partnership is defined as any arrangement between a government and the private sector in which partially or traditionally public activities are performed by the private sector.Privatization appears in several forms. Contracting with private firms to collect garbage and trash, maintain public buildings, process claims, or repair military aircraft is a form of privatization, and so is contracting with a non profit agency to deliver "meals on wheels" to elderly shutins or to operate a child-care center. Awarding franchises to companies to finance, build, own, and operate highways, tunnels and waterworks is also privatization. Issuing food stamps and housing vouchers to the poor and providing education vouchers to the parents of school children are privatized approaches far different from - and better than - government - run farms and grocery stores, public housing projects, and failing inner city public schools. Urban dwellers practice privatization when they form neighbourhood security patrols, and so do suburbanites who join volunteer fire departments. It is also privatization when government retires from the business of insuring home mortgages or running buses and lets the marketplace provide those services. Finally, selling off a government-owned railroad, factory, or coal mine is privatization, a necessary element in the untidy transition to a market economy in the post-socialist countries. The distinction between public and private is elusive. We speak of a park or government office building as being publicly owned, but we use the same term to describe Microsoft because it has many stockholders and any member of the public may buy part of the company; it is a private firm that is publicly owned. In the same way, a public restaurant is one that caters to the public at large, although it may be owned by a sole proprietor. Confusingly, we use the same word, public, to describe three very different conditions: government ownership, widespread ownership, and open access. [...]. [From the publication]
