Book Description
This book outlines the phases which turn a state-owned organization into a full-blown privatized plc, via commercialization, corporatization and the so-called fattening-up prior to flotation. The book also covers a range of considerations, from price-fixing to Third World privatizations, and examines in detail the various camps of opposition, asking: has privatisation worked?, who exactly are Thatcherism's share-owning public?, and are the companies they own really more efficient?
Privatisation ... Fair Shares for All Or Selling the Family Silver?
Author: Gordon J. KINGThe Family Silver
Author: Susan KriegerPublisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520917057
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
In an inventive and controversial collection of essays, sociologist Susan Krieger considers the many forms of wealth, both material and emotional, that women pass on to each other. This domestic heritage—the "family silver"—is the keystone for a discussion of mother-daughter relationships, intimate relationships between lesbians, ties between students and feminist teachers, the dilemmas of women in academia as well as in the broader work world, and the importance of female separatism. Drawing on her experiences as a lesbian, a feminist, and a teacher, Krieger presents a stunning critique of higher education. She argues for acknowledging gender in all areas of women's lives and for valuing women's inner realities and outer forms of expression. Krieger has developed a distinctly feminist approach to understanding and scholarship. Her style is self-revelatory, emotional, and at the same time deeply analytical. Her essays pioneer a new method of locating, defining, and honoring female values. The Family Silver includes a thought-provoking discussion of gender roles among women, including the author's experience of being mistaken for a man; an exploration of teaching in a feminist classroom; and a description of the controversy that resulted when the author refused to allow a hostile male student to take one of her courses. Beautifully written,The Family Silver addresses issues of central concern to feminists, postmodernists, and queer theorists and encourages new insights into how gender profoundly affects us all.

Thatcher, Reagan, and Mulroney
Author: Donald J. SavoiePublisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 0822974614
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Savoie considers the war of reform waged by the leaders of these major industrial countries. Reagan declared that he had come to Washington to "drain the swamp" of bureaucracy, and set up the Grace Commission to investigate the operation of the U.S. government. Thatcher and Mulroney were equally committed to reform and initiated wide-ranging changes. By the end of the 1990s, the changes were dramatic. Many governments operations had been privatized in all three countries, and new management techniques had been introduced. In Great Britain, one observer judged that the changes were historically as important as the collapse of Keynesian economics. Is government now better in these countries, and was political leadership right in focusing on management of the bureaucracy as the villain? Savoie suggests that the reforms overlooked problems now urgently requiring attention and, at the same time, attempted to address non-existent problems. He combines theory and research based on sixty-two interviews, nearly all with members of the executive branch of the governments of Britain, Canada and the United States.
