[lbo-talk] London Underground's Privatization Experiment Dead as Remaining PPP is Bought Out

[Eric Beck]

Is the public-private distinction even relevant anymore? If
neoliberalism has accomplished anything, it has meant the combining of
and blurring the lines between capital's functions (production/profit)
and the state's functions (capture/reorganization). Capital now has
its own reterritorializing arms (public relations, nonprofits,
foundations) while the state operates by value-producing and
enterprise principles. I don't think it makes much sense to insist on
the opposition.
