privatise
意味: To transfer ownership or control of a state-owned enterprise, service, or asset to the private sector.
Privatise is one of the defining political terms of the Thatcher era and remains deeply contentious in British public life. The privatisation of British Telecom, British Gas, British Rail, and the water companies in the 1980s and 1990s shaped the modern economy and continues to provoke fierce debate. The word is politically loaded: proponents associate it with efficiency and competition, while opponents link it to profiteering and declining standards. The noun 'privatisation' is equally charged.
