	Privatization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Privatization (sometimes privatisation, denationalization, or disinvestment) is the process of transferring property from public ownership to private ownership and/or transferring the management of a service or activity from the government to the private sector.
		Privatizing a non-profitable (or severe loss-making) company which was state-owned would shift the burden of financing off taxpayers, as well as freeing some national budget resources which may be subsequently used for something else.
		Opponents of privatization dispute the claims concerning the alleged lack of incentive for governments to ensure that the enterprises they own are well run, on the basis of the idea that governments are proxy owners answerable to the people.

		The British privatization of nearly four dozen major businesses and several hundred small ones set an example not only of the techniques that could be used, but also of the success that could be anticipated.
		Privatization contributed, in large measure, to the revival of confidence in capitalism and the market economy, evidenced by the large number of countries which turned in that direction, and to its eventual triumph over the rival system of central planning, controls, and state ownership.
