Privatization of America's Public Institutions: The Story of the American Sellout
Baines, Lawrence
Peter Lang Publishing Group
"Privatization of America's Public Institutions" describes the transformation of the military, K-12 public schools, public universities and colleges, and prisons into enterprises focused on generating profits for a select few. In many cases, privatization has limited accessibility, promoted segregation, fueled declining standards, increased costs, and reduced quality.
