Publisher Description:
Examining the privatization experience of six Latin American countries-Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, and Colombia-this book evaluates the empirical evidence on privatization and assesses the validity of the criticisms raised to show that privatization can lead to increased profitability and productivity, firm restructuring, fiscal benefits, output growth, and even quality improvements.
