Donald Cohen on his book The Privatization of Everything

(12/15/21) Ever since President Ronald Reagan successfully branded government as a dangerous threat, privatization has touched every aspect of our lives, from water and trash collection to the justice system and the military. However, citizens can, and are, wresting back what is ours. The Privatization of Everything: How the Plunder of Public Goods Transformed America and How We Can Fight Back, the new book from Donald Cohen, founder and executive director of In the Public Interest, and journalist Allen Mikaelian exposes the hidden crisis of privatization that has been slowly unfolding over the past 50 years and offers a road map for taking the country back. Join us for a look at the dangers of privatization in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
