We have spent the last three decades engaged in a pointless and irrelevant debate about the relative merits of privatization or nationalization. We have been arguing about the wrong thing while sitting on a goldmine of assets. Dont worry about who owns those assets, worry about whether they are managed effectively. Why does this matter? Because despite the Thatcher/ Reagan economic revolution, the largest pool of wealth in the world a global total that is much larger than the worlds total pensions savings, and ten times the total of all the sovereign wealth funds on the planet is still comprised of commercial assets that are held in public ownership. If professionally managed, they could generate an annual yield of 2.7 trillion dollars, more than current global spending on infrastructure: transport, power, water, and communications. Based on both economic research and hands-on experience from many countries, the authors argue that publicly owned commercial assets need to be taken out of the direct and distorting control of politicians and placed under professional management in a National Wealth Fund or its local government equivalent. Such a move would trigger much-needed structural reforms in national economies, thus resurrect strained government finances, bolster ailing economic growth, and improve the fabric of democratic institutions. This radical, reforming book was named one of the "Books of the Year".by both the FT and The Economist.

I recommended Detter and Folsters The Public Wealth of Nations, a smart read that pulls data and management strategies from throughout the globe in order to argue for ways we can add value to public assets and hence increase economic growth. (The Philadelphia Citizen, thephiladelphiacitizen.org, December, 2016) Detter (formerly, Swedish Ministry of Industry) and Flster (Reform Institute, Sweden) contend that democracy works best when governments have little direct access to public wealth. The authors present a compelling argument that better management of publicly owned assets would improve economic welfare . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. (R. E. Schenk, Choice, Vol. 53 (12), August, 2016)
