The Future is Public! BOOK LAUNCH

Join us for the launch of two new books on the remaking of public services in Canada and the United States:

• Our Common Wealth: The Return of Public Ownership in the United States 
• Corporatizing Canada: Making Business Out of Public Service

Privatization is deeply unpopular in North America and has been fought successfully. But if the anti-privatization movement only thinks defensively the best we can do is protect the status quo. Reclaiming public ownership, and rethinking the ways in which public services are delivered, is a crucial part of building a more equitable and sustainable public services future.
