In his new book, The Privatization of Everything, author Donald Cohen directly takes on the myths which have led to intense concentration of power a an wealth and offers ways to reassert what America’s founders had in mind. Despite the popular trend, fortified by Reagan and Bill Clinton, there is evidence that privatization is insufficient and that government, from muncipal to federal, often has a key role in protecting the common good. Even Republicans are figureing this out. Cohen reminds us that since we gave the private interests their power, we can take it back.
