What Is Public about Public Services?

چکیده
On my first visit to Prague after the 'Velvet' revolution of 1989, I spent a morning discussing the post-communist future of public services with Czech labour leaders. For a while I was perplexed: why were they so sanguine about the prospect of hospitals being privatized? They were baffled too: why would a Londoner favour state control of pubs? It soon dawned on us that we were at cross purposes because we were talking about 'public services' as a general category without having defined what we meant. Once we had established our agreement that state-run bars are about as much fun as market-designed health services, we got on a lot better.
