[OPE-L] Elmar Altvater on the privatisation of public goods

[Jurriaan Bendien <adsl675281@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I've noticed that Altvater's paper on the "privatisation of public goods" is
available online in two places:

http://www.rosalux.de/cms/fileadmin/rls_uploads/wemgehoertdiewelt/altvater_0312.pdf
and
http://buho.economia.unam.mx/actividades/seminario_ep05/Altvater/sesion2_publicgoods.pdf

I've done a short English wiki entry on Altvater here:

(the wiki article on privatization is here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privatization )

An IMF paper on the quantitative dimensions of privatisation I cited before
is here:

A World Bank paper is here:

The World Bank privatization database, plus a research paper, is here:

Where was it exactly, in the Grundrisse, that Marx envisaged that the growth
of capital meant that the private sector would eventually take over many
state functions (I cannot find the exact quote)?
