Reviews
From the reviews of the first edition:
"The policy of privatization – selling state-owned firms to the private sector - has grown from its relatively modest roots in Mrs. Thatcher’s Britain during the 1980s to be a world-scale phenomenon. … This is the theme of Schipke’s short, tightly focused and very useful book. … In fact, Schipke has carved out an interesting and under-researched niche – the macroeconomics of privatization. … The book is well written and … well edited and produced." (Journal of Economics, Vol. 77 (3), 2002)
