Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book elaborates on the case for nationalization, an alternative to company and private ownership of services and industries. The author posits that state-owned enterprises distribute profits back into service quality, unlike private enterprise which prioritizes shareholder profits over all else. This has borne out in some UK nationalized entities, such as the Post Office, which made a profit and consistently expanded service offerings up until the first World War. The author points to plentiful examples of the wastefulness and ineffectiveness of private enterprise due to competition and redundancy. Firms, in the pursuit of greatest profit, will often duplicate infrastructure or inefficiently protect their own profit margins to the detriment of the consumer goods market. The author also examines the class struggle evident in recent UK labor disputes, seeing these events within the broader historical and literary context of the struggle between the propertied and working classes. Finally, the author decries the focus on bureaucracy and red tape in government-run organizations, claiming these inefficiencies are also found in their privately-run counterparts. The author provides an engaged historical and economic perspective on the debate over nationalization, with this book offering plenty to engage those interested in politics, history, economics, and public policy.
