Public and Private Ownership of British Industry 1820-1990

Britain led the way for much of the world with industrial privatization during the 1980s. Yet the historical origins of the process that was being reversed have rarely been examined. This is a coherent and thorough history of network industries such as railways, gas, water, electricity, and telecommunications, which offers a valuable historical approach to the contentious issue of privatization.
