It has been suggested that on FW I have been suggesting that "privatization reduces corruption".
For those who obviously don't read my words, but cast their own interpretation on what I write, let me state that I have never said or remotely suggested that "privatization reduces corruption". This would be ridiculous. Almost everybody, business people as well as ordinary people, will take advantage of situations for their own advantage. Politicians, however, publicly state that they will uphold justice before being elected. In so many cases they fail to do so when elected (nearly all the present and recent prime ministers and presidents of European countries for a start) and are themselves smeared with corruption. No wonder that politicians wring their hands at the increasingly low turnouts for elections. As to the Enron affair itself, I have spent several hours in the last few days reading accounts of this in several newspapers from both sides of the water. It is pointless to sound off emotionally at the present time because there are many good people in America who are determined to get to the truth of the matter.
