- catalog abstract "The book focuses entirely on public utilities. In developing countries, the lack of telecommunications, energy and water infrastructure holds back the modernization process. Governments in those nations turned to privatization of those sectors because: they lacked the resources to expand the sectors, they believed that private owners would run the utilities more efficiently, and utility properties are not only saleable but bring in large sums needed for other purposes. In the industrialized world, hard pressed governments are turning to privatization for the same reasons, although the desire to raise money may be the controlling factor. We all can learn from the experiences of others, and this book tells about those experiences. The book discusses the basics of the process. Getting it right (whether that means planning the privatization, or deciding to make the investment, or running the company in a new environment) requires and understanding of the basics, meaning: how and why the industry is organized as it is, whether there are alternatives, what the regulator should do, how the banker fits into the process, what private sector finance and accounting are like, and especially, how the capital markets work. Most people are embarrassed to ask about the basics. Most writers assume that the reader knows. Well, here is everything that you need to know but were afraid to ask.".
