Looking at the theory and practice of privatization in its
broadest manifestations, the contributors to this volume scrutinize
the combination of public and private initiatives that makes up the
present U.S. social sector. As they discuss privatization both in
production and delivery of services and in financing, they reveal
complexities that have been ignored in recent ideological
arguments. This book, while warning about political misuse of
privatization, offers an unusually rigorous definition and theory
of the concept and presents a number of case studies that show how
public and private sectors variously cooperate, compete, or
complement one another in social programs--and how various systems
have accommodated to the privatization rhetoric that has come to
the fore under the Reagan administration.
The contributors are Marc Bendick, Jr., Evelyn Z. Brodkin,
Arnold Gurin, Alfred J. Kahn, Sheila B. Kamerman, Michael
O'Higgins, Martin Rein Richard Rose, Paul Starr, Mitchell
Sviridoff, and Dennis Young.
