This article explains why partial privatization of Social Security is likely to have an adverse impact on three specific subpopulations: women, minorities, and lower-income workers. It begins by explaining how partial privatization differs fundamentally from the current system. It then explains why shifting investment risk to workers, the fundamental indispensable difference between the current system and a partially privatized system, would likely have an adverse impact on the three subpopulations. It then explains how distribution of benefits to the three subpopulations would be impacted by partial privatization's interaction with the four factors that are most relevant in determining how the current system redistributes income. Those four factors are (1) the method by which benefits are paid out; (2) the progressive benefit formula; (3) disability benefits; and (4) auxiliary benefits.

From 1997 to 2001, more than 4,000 privatization operations have been carried out in more than 100 countries, bringing in government revenues of over 1,362 billion dollars. The phenomenon, which grew exponentially at the end of the 1990s and then abruptly slowed down, had dramatic consequences on the performance of state-owned enterprises and a significant impact on industrialized countries, as well as emerging and less developed economies. Yet there have been surprisingly few attempts to provide a systematic empirical account of the privatization process at the worldwide level. Why do governments privatize? Why do some countries accomplish large-scale privatization programmes, and others never privatize at all? Is privatization a trend or a cycle? Furthermore, how do governments privatize? Do governments really transfer ownership and control of state-owned enterprises or does private ownership tend to coexist with public control? This book provides some answers to these important questions trying to test research hypotheses set forth by the recent economic theory of privatization. Comprehensive cross-country empirical analyses carried out over a period of more than twenty years are used in the book to show that privatization has taken place all over the world, sometimes spontaneously, more often under the pressure of economic and budgetary constraints. Several of the goals of the privatization have been met, but despite proclamations and programmes, only a small minority of countries has carried out a genuine privatization process, completely transferring ownership of state-owned enterprises to the private sector. A lack of political will is to some extent at the root of this reluctance. However this reluctance can be traced back partly to structural factors that would make an orderly privatization difficult, such as the absence of developed capital markets, appropriate regulation, and suitable institutions.

The governments which undertake privatization of their state owned enterprises often maintain some ownership in the newly privatized firms. This paper examines the effect of the presence of the government as a minority shareholder on the protection of the minority shareholders in privatized firms. Consistent with the government's incentive to foster security market development and to enlist the support of the median-class voters for the privatization process we find that the government effectively monitors the controlling shareholders in the newly privatized firms and curbs their ability to expropriate the minority shareholders. Furthermore, the evidence suggests that the minority government ownership acts as a substitute for the lack of alternative mechanisms for minority shareholder protection.

Television for a Better America tracks the desires of 1970s media professionals, policy makers, educators, and television critics to deploy the most widely used media technology of their time to “make a difference” in racial inequality. Through in-depth examinations of Sesame Street, the 1977 Roots miniseries, and the public culture that surrounded these shows, I demonstrate that the feelings of viewers were the central object of intervention in this racial project. Both shows attempted to instill self-esteem and pride among Black viewers while stimulating feelings of sympathy or identification among White viewers with the people of color represented on their programs. Commentators and viewers responded enthusiastically to this approach, expressing tremendous optimism that the emotional changes wrought through viewing these programs would indeed ameliorate racial inequality between Blacks and Whites. Although this approach to ameliorating racism did not achieve its overall goal, the notion that race is no longer a major factor in determining life chances has become the dominant racial ideology in the United States today. Drawing upon Eduardo Bonilla-Silva’s theorization of this ideology, which he terms colorblind racism, I show how the efforts to end inequality by changing people’s feelings through television entertainment contributed to the emergence of this transformed racism. This dissertation traces a discourse on feelings through production documents, newspaper and magazine articles, government reports, memoirs, archived interviews, and the shows themselves. My investigation demonstrates that much public discourse from the late 1960s through the 1970s circulated around emotions said to contribute to or combat racial inequality. This idea shaped the work of the television professionals behind Sesame Street and Roots, who further promoted the idea that cultivating the right feelings meant ending racism and racial inequality. Asking individuals to conduct emotional restructurings as a way to undo the effects of the nation’s racial history—through viewing particular media products, for example—directs attention away from needed institutional change while also reinforcing the liberal value of individualism. It made colorblind racism possible by providing a framework for equating the end of racism with the emergence of Black pride and the minimization of conscious racial hatred by Whites. Moreover, this reasoning provided an avenue for expressing and pursuing desires to end racism that would not challenge the educational, economic, and legal institutions that reproduce racial inequality.

Federal prison chaplaincy experienced a major shift in 2013 when the provision of these services was outsourced to a single for-profit company. The present study examines how privatization has impacted minority faith chaplains serving in federal institutions in Canada. The study also explores the theoretical concept of performativity and its impact on prison chaplaincy as a caring profession. Based on 10 in-depth semi-structured interviews with minority chaplains the results show that privatization led to: 1) increased levels of bureaucratization that have compromised the quality of spiritual care available to prisoners, 2) reduced resources for chaplains and 3) increased emotional exhaustion and frustration among chaplains.

Transferring public services and public assets to private ownership is not an entirely new idea. Governments at all levels in the United States have for years contracted out many services. However, under the recently coined label "privatization," such policies now come recommended as a more comprehensive approach to the problems of modern government than ever before. However, the choice is not public or private but which of many possible mixed public-private structures works best. The advocates of privatization use the more moderate ideas to gain plausibility for the more radical goal of government disengagement. The conservatives' view of government as an economic black hole misses what government adds to the productive resources of society and overstates what government takes away. There is a lesson about privatization: governments will continue to be held accountable for economic growth and security. Thus, most privatization efforts would be politically unpopular. The most common privatization proposals would hardly diminish the domain of special interests. Advocates of privatization show an undue tenderness toward private contractors and an undue hostility toward public employees. Although privatization aims to shift services from the public to the private sector, it could end up making private institutions more like public ones. Finally, where the government represents the nation and seeks to speak with one voice, it needs public servants loyal to its highest interests, not private contractors maximizing their own. Although privatization is appealing, the ever-changing public-private mix is necessary in providing public services. (Includes 29 reference notes.) (KC)
