By Cohen, Donald
America's leading defender of the public interest and a bestselling historian show us how to prevent the private takeover of our cherished public resources "An essential read for those who want to fight the assault on public goods and the commons." - Naomi Klein As people reach for social justice and better lives, they create public goods - free education, public health, open parks, clean water, and many others - that must be kept out of the market.

The Privatization of Everything, by the founder of In the Public Interest, an organization dedicated to shared prosperity and the common good, chronicles the efforts to turn our public goods into private profit centers.
