"The Fox In The Hen House"...excellent!...
I have proof that I'm not crazy. This book has put into print what I've been saying for years...

About this book
Privatization has been on the corporate agenda for years, but now it has the power of the Bush administration behind it. Health care, schools, social Security, public lands, the military, prisons -- all are on the auction block, to be sold to the most powerful corporate bidder.

Does privatization serve the public good? Can it work as a healthy partnership between economic and political forces? Or is it a payoff to a set of powerful corporations intent on taking over government and establishing a "private profit culture," in which the bottom line is the measure of all things?

In The Fox and the Henhouse, legendary activist Si Kahn and distinguished educator Elizabeth Minnich show how privatization endangers democracy. They call instead for a "public good culture," which draws on the richness of our country's traditions and the generosity of its people to create a world that works for all of us.

It's our democracy. Let's take it back.
