| الملخص: | The Privatisation of Public Services : a Privatisation of Democracy ?
The article argues that the role of public services goes beyond the provision of
« public goods », insofar as they provide « social goods » which form the necessary
conditions for the exercise of citizenship, in its political, social and economic dimensions.
The article shows that the arguments put forward in support of privatisation are in fact
specious, and have been refuted by what has emerged in the wake of privatisation : in
essence, a privatisation of democracy, insofar as universal democracy has given way to a
consumer vote conditional on a property qualification, a process carried out in dutiful
subservience to the interests of financial capitalism. |
