From the Publisher:
An important and timely publication
This is a book about the challenges of globalism and new technology by the man behind one of the key concepts of recent times - privatization. Politics in the new millenium will continue to revolve around economics, and economics continues to rely on time-expired theories about how individuals and economies behave and on ever more unreliable statistics. New insights from the worlds of science and biology, combined with the new realities of a privatised world order, have changed forever the way governments need to govern and politicians to seek and retain power. This book raises the key questions for democracy in the new millenium.

The idea of privatising public assets, and of unravelling the state's domain was the great heresy of the 1960s and 1970s. In turn, it became, as heresies do, the new orthodoxy. Now Howell, one of the key architects of the concept of privatisation, turns to new ideas and new heresies. Could they be the orthodoxies of the globalisation age?
