Talk:Privatization

We should put the opinions from IGM Forum European Economists

Absolute Majority agreed about Privatization in Eastern Europe which was strong Positive Some economists wrote down "this is No brainer" I think this source is useful http://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/privatization-in-central-and-eastern-europe Shfur0306 (talk) 12:21, 21 January 2020 (UTC)

Privatization unquestionably allowed corruption to take greater hold in eastern europe. The mechanism is obvious: while state capitalism implied concentrated corruption intranationally, privatization allowed corruption to flow into these countries internationally.

Eastern europe is not filled with miracle economies like the spanish miracle or the chinese miracle. The contrast should be obvious, and it would have been famous otherwise. Houseratz (talk) 15:44, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Why no mention of how privatization is imposed upon poorer countries?

There is a specific mechanism created by IMF, World Bank and USA to impose privatizations on the poorer countries, it even has an article here in wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Consensus

So, why is there no mention here? This article is like as if privatization is a matter of taste. It's not! 79.166.6.229 (talk) 22:16, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Potential bias in listing the arguments for and against privatization

Some points in the section regarding arguments against privatization have catches and ", but..." while the ones on the arguments for privatization don't. Considering that this article is politics-adjacent it might be a good idea to review some of them. Potential solutions could be attaching individual reference markers on each point to prevent potential opinionated arguments or just cutting of the sentence in the arguments that denounces itself. ~2025-40881-93 (talk) 05:06, 17 December 2025 (UTC)
