I've noticed that Altvater's paper on the "privatisation of public goods" is available online in two places: http://www.rosalux.de/cms/fileadmin/rls_uploads/wemgehoertdiewelt/altvater_0312.pdf and http://buho.economia.unam.mx/actividades/seminario_ep05/Altvater/sesion2_publicgoods.pdf I've done a short English wiki entry on Altvater here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmar_Altvater (the wiki article on privatization is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatization ) An IMF paper on the quantitative dimensions of privatisation I cited before is here: http://www.imf.org/External/Pubs/FT/staffp/2004/02/pdf/brune.pdf A World Bank paper is here: http://www.cipe.org/publications/fs/ert/e27/shirle27.htm The World Bank privatization database, plus a research paper, is here: http://rru.worldbank.org/Privatization/ OECD papers: http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/57/34/1897976.pdf http://www.oecd.org/statisticsdata/0,2643,en_2649_34847_1_119656_1_1_1,00.html Another discussion of global privatisation is: http://www.international.ucla.edu/cms/files/privatization.pdf For privatization in the US, see: http://www.privatization.org/database/trendsandstatistics.html and a glossary: http://www.gao.gov/special.pubs/gg97121.htm critical New Internationalist article: http://www.newint.org/issue355/facts.htm Where was it exactly, in the Grundrisse, that Marx envisaged that the growth of capital meant that the private sector would eventually take over many state functions (I cannot find the exact quote)?
