This book documents the impacts of privatization and re-regulation of the water supply industry, focusing on consumers, the environment, and water supply companies. Bakker argues that water is an 'uncooperative' commodity which has proven to be more difficult than expected to commercialize, leading to increasing political and public intervention, stricter environmental and economic 're-regulation', and significant corporate restructuring which has raised questions about the long-term viability of the British model of water supply privatization.
Industry Reviews
`...this is a very welcome examination of the water industry and its peculiarities. There is a good long-term survey of the structure of the industry through its successive phases before privatization, including the corporatization and nationalization of the postwar period. The real strength lies in Bakker's attempt to link history, economics, geography, and environment in charting the contours of the industry and its future.' Economic History Review `a scholarly and investigative analysis.' Natural Resources Forum
