I will begin by stating that I have a major problem with the book. Savas skews his own statistics in order to push readers into supporting the privatization of our nation's public sector. His book focuses entirely on the private sector's greater efficiency over the public sector without addressing many other important issues. If you want a very one sided book that is pro-privatization, then buy this one. If, however, you would like a book that seeks to enlighten readers with facts and allows them to make their own decision on the matter, then find another book.
I'm interested in knowing more about the PPPs. Even though this book defends a view contrary to mine, it's very interesting to understand what are the grounds which the author uses to defend the PPPs.
This book provides a basic and academic description of the basics of privatization. It goes over the key terms and concepts used in the field. The author feels slanted towards being pro on privatization.
still in pretty good condition!
