The privatized state

by Cordelli, Chiara

Type Book
Rate 0.0 /5

Many governmental functions today - from the management of prisons and welfare offices to warfare and financial regulation - are outsourced to private entities. Education and health care are funded in part through private philanthropy rather than taxation. Can a privatized government rule legitimately? This book argues that it cannot. It argues that privatization constitutes a regression to a precivil condition - what philosophers centuries ago called 'a state of nature.'
