Abstract: Abstract There has been a sea change in attitudes towards public enterprise around the world in recent years. In Western Europe, the United Kingdom and, since April 1986, France have set out to privatize public enterprises on a large scale. In the case of France, this represents not only a reversal of the nationalizations undertaken by the previous socialist government in 1981, but companies nationalized in 1945 are also being privatized.
