The Privatization Project

From 1991-1994 the Carnegie Council initiated a major project to examine the global phenomenon of privatization. Council members and corporate leaders from the United States, Canada, Russia, Sweden, Eastern Europe, and South America participated in this enterprise. The Council distributed transcripts from the monthy seminars and conferences to over two thousand people in government, business, academe, labor, and the media.
