In Privatization in Turkey: Power Bloc, Capital Accumulation and State, Ahmet Zaifer offers a rare look on privatization in Turkey that involves all three historical periods of Turkish privatization process -1980s and 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s- and covers different forms of privatization from divestiture to public-private partnership. Benefiting from theoretically informed qualitative research spanning nearly a decade that has involved several interviews with key informant groups, extensive review of newspaper articles and detailed analysis of annual reports of businesses, Ahmet Zaifer convincingly proves that the acceleration of privatization in Turkey has not only provided advantages to so-called favourable capital groups and the government elites, but also consolidated the position of Capital in General at the expense of labouring-popular classes and the natural environment of the entire country.

In this paper we study how privatization and deregulation of production of intermediate goods influence capital accumulation. Our model is solved under three alternative scenarios: one where the intermediate sector is composed of a public monopoly under government control, one where the intermediate sector is dominated by a private monopoly, and one with a competitive intermediate sector. The comparison of these models suggests that the income benefits of state-to-market transitions are mostly due to increased competition on the deregulated market and that the privatization of state enterprises is not likely to generate significant changes in the economy when the public monopoly is replaced by a private monopoly. In fact, the model predicts that for high enough levels of public investment, a public monopoly would be preferred to a private monopoly in terms of the resulting aggregate income level. We find that elimination of monopoly rights can increase aggregate income by more than 20%.

This paper examines the connectivity between privatization and private capital accumulation. Many previous studies have proved that privatization has had a direct and positive effect on capital accumulation through attracting private investment. Ethiopia, which is one of the least developed countries (LDCs), and having spent a two decades of communism, has implemented privatization programme as a means of attracting a sizable investment including the foreign direct investment (FDI). We used data over ten years, 1994/95-2003/04, and applied correlation and regression analyses to find out the effect of the Ethiopian privatization programme on capital accumulation. The empirical results show that privatization was insignificant to capital accumulation. We suggest that the country needs to improve economic and political stability and openness coupled with re-vitalizing the privatization programme to prevent the Ethiopian economy from the further capital sabotage.

The role of public sector activity in capital accumulation and fraction synthesis assists with economic development, public policy, and sustainable growth. By strategically investing in areas like infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public transit, governments aim to facilitate human capital and increase business profits. As more governments and companies aim for improved economic activity, improved research is required to explore the pivotal role of cohesive frameworks for capital accumulation, while understanding the various fractions of capital. Public Sector Activity in Capital Accumulation and Synthesis of Capital Fractions explores the complexities surrounding privatization, offering a critical and historically informed perspective that challenges the limited view presented by mainstream economics. This book covers topics such as accumulation theories, capitalism, and public property, and is a useful resource for economists, academicians, researchers, scientists, business owners, and historians.
