There is much talk of privatization of some of our transport infrastructure. Like many investors, companies, foreign and even sovereign wealth funds will be pleased to make this long term investment.
Believe it or not Chinese like the idea of investing in infrastructure in the United States for transportation and make money from time to time to maintain, and user fees. Not sure if you get there, but some foreign companies from foreign countries who own most of our existing water infrastructure.
There, China is not one of them, but I assure you they want to be. And not wanting to have it on good investment. There are companies that want our existing infrastructure, invest in building new infrastructure, and companies now buy properties owned by the governments of different countries and use them again in the country.
Clearly indicating the sale because they need money during the financial crisis, and they understand that the buildings get older, they can not afford to maintain them without setting a major renovation, renovation, and Capital costs have risen – they have become the responsibility of property and equipment.
However, they are very willing to pay the tax will be building a long term lease. Safety is just to attract enough investors to purchase goods, knowing they have a tenant that will always exist.
But the question we should privatize the assets of our transportation infrastructure? Well, you can not be reached, but some roads are owned by companies rather than big government. International Airport is privately owned and not by the government.
So why not continue the process. Could lead to increased competition, lower overall costs for treatment, because the efficiency is more evident in the private sector or public sector. This means that it will lower the cost of infrastructure use, and government money and therefore lower taxes for everyone, and therefore our society and civilization will be more complex and Total Cost less expensive to operate.
Something to think about. When you think I want you to think a great book to read is one I read and enjoyed. Name of the book;
“Last Exit: privatization and deregulation of the U.S. Transportation by Clifford Winston, published by the Brookings Institution Press, Washington, DC (2010), 188 pages, ISBN-13: 978-0815704737.
Clifford asks questions in this excellent book, does not always give the reader can respond, only the reader to consider the possibility of matching wherever possible. In some cases, can not be good, but in many cases, be the best solution. I think after reading the arguments of both benefits and drawbacks, the study cases, you will leave with a better understanding of competition in a free market in transport infrastructure.
We need more research in this field of empirical evidence in each particular case and situation, a lot of work to do, find out what makes the most sense and where.
One question, “What should develop contingency plans for the privatization of financial collapse to produce a significant portion of the system or a monopoly supplier does not face competitive discipline” – is very exciting For me personally, as coordinator for the online think tank. In fact, I hope you all please look at this and then think about it seriously.
