Aleksa's Book Review: Privatisation and Restructuring

Well, this book does what it sets out to do. It's almost like I didn't know what I was expecting - the book gives arguments for and against the privatisation of electricity provision, and then goes into several cases in which electricity was privatised.

The interesting thing about the whole ordeal is a way in which the provision may be provided: a 4-quadrant system where the Y axis is "individual choice-government choice" and the X axis is "individual funding-government funding". This way of looking at provisions is extremely insightful, as it specifies the 4 quadrants as "Single-payer system", "Free Market", "Socialised Provision" and "Government Monopoly". I might go into reading about all 4 sectors.

I read this mostly as an exercise in comprehension, and I ended up understanding a lot of the New Zealand, Swiss, and British models of electricity privatisation - which never go as far into "Free Market" as I'd like them to. Regardless, this is a solid read for anybody from engineers to policymakers to economists.
