Reviews

Elliot Sclar's important new book, You Don't Always Get What You Pay For: The Economics of Privatization. . . .shows, in an accessible and non-technical style that, to understand the strengths and weaknesses of public service privatization, it is necessary to understand the theory behind the policy. -Regional Labor Review. 2000.


This book by Elliot Sclar is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the bases and consequences of the still powerful drive to privatize. . . In short, Sclar's book is a work of enlightenment. . . It should be studied closely by anybody with a serious interest in these important issues. Edward S. Herman, University of Pennsylvania. Texas Observer, September 2000
