Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book on public utilities illuminates the worldwide shift toward public ownership and the legal and economic factors driving this change. The author, an experienced politician and scholar, argues that public ownership of utilities is a natural and necessary function of government, and is the best way to ensure both democratic control and economic justice. Drawing on extensive travels and research, the book provides vivid accounts of the successful implementation of public ownership in multiple countries, demonstrating its ability to provide high-quality services at low cost while promoting social harmony and economic equality. The book presents detailed evidence of the excessive profits made by private utility companies and their use of unfair business practices to stifle competition and evade regulation. Providing a wealth of historical, economic and political context, this meticulously researched and passionately argued book provides a comprehensive understanding of the critical role of public utilities in democratic societies. Understanding the concepts in this book is crucial for anyone interested in social justice and the future of public ownership.
