The Privatization of Everything: The Plunder of Public Goods — When Public Systems Become Markets

Описание: Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.

This episode explores The Privatization of Everything: The Plunder of Public Goods by Donald Cohen and Allen Mikaelian as a systems-level examination of how the privatization of public goods reshapes democratic accountability, institutional behavior, and public perception.

Rather than isolating individual policy debates or surface-level controversies, this analysis treats privatization as a structural redesign of governance — revealing how incentives, contractual frameworks, and financial pressures generate durable patterns that persist even when their failures become widely visible.

By tracing design → incentives → outcomes → persistence → interconnection, the episode clarifies how privatization operates as part of a larger institutional network linking markets, political narratives, public finance, and democratic governance.
