PRIVATIZATION AND THE STATE

1 Until the mid-1970s the proportion of economic activity controlled by the government and the share of taxes in national income tended to increase in most countries. Since then challenges to this growth in the role of government have become income increasingly influent, and moves to privatization have been common.

2 There are several types of privatization. One involves the sale to private owners of state-owned assets, and this is most correctly called privatization. Publicly owned houses may be sold to their occupants. Commodity stockpiles may be reduced or disbanded. Increasingly attention has been turned to the sale of publicly owned industries, thus reversing the move to nationalization that occurred around and after World War 2.

3 Where the privatized industry operates in a competitive environment, no new problems arise. Where privatization occurs but monopoly continues; there are new difficulties. Both Japan and the United Kingdom have privatized their telecommunications networks. Although, in certain limited areas of telecommunications, competition is possible - and has been allowed to develop in both the United States and Britain - technical and legal restrictions inhibit* competition in many sectors of the industry.

4 Regulation is necessary to restrict the freedom of privatized monopolies, or near monopolies, to raise prices and to exploit consumers in other ways. In the United States, which has by far the longest history of regulating private utilities, such regulation has normally limited the rate of return that they earn to what is considered a fair level A disadvantage of this is that it may give the industry no greater incentive to increased efficiency than would exist in public ownership, since higher costs can be directly onto consumers. There have been experiments with other forms of regulation, which seek to strike a balance between incentives for better performance and the ability to exploit consumers.

inhibit* - разжигать
