Reviews / Votes
'The book presents a useful collection of many of the most influential scholarly articles written by economists over the past two decades on the theory and practice of privatization and deregulation. Yet this book is more; it creates an understanding of the relationship between private enterprise and government, and how various related economic perspectives have evolved. While most contributors take a US-based viewpoint, authors and examples cover the globe. Mudambi's introduction synthesizes the most salient insights of the contributors, highlights the critical importance of institutions for wealth creation, and raises new questions.' -- Klaus Uhlenbruck, Texas A&M University, USMore details
