▶ Topic :infrasturcture privatization |

|
▶ Your Answer :
In the reading, the writer insists that the
infrastructure privatization gives many benefits to the state as well as to
itself. However, in the lecture, the speaker claims that there are more
disadvantages than merits in the infrastructure privatization.
First of all, the speaker argues that the
state loses the chance to earn money by letting private corporations run basic
facilities for its own profit. As the speaker refers an example, when a state
run toll booths by itself, the state will obtain huge amount of money. On the
contrary, if a private corporation takes these, the gain from taxes must be too
small. This counters the reading passage’s point that the obtainment of tax
revenue by allowing infrastructure privatization will bring a large amount of
money to the states.
Also, the lecturer says that the allowance
of the infrastructure privatization can waste extra money for maintaining the
states’ environment. For example, the speaker examples that a water corporation
can harm the surrounding nature but since the company cares only about its
profit, it does not take care of the nature. Then the state should spend unpredicted
cost on the recovery of the environment. This also debunks the argument of the
reading passage that the infrastructure privatization is a good way to keep the
public service in a good condition.
Finally, the speaker suggests the
possibility that the private business is likely to introduce new technology
only when there is a competitive environment. Otherwise, the companies will
only concentrate on maintaining their services. This opposes to the reading passage
that asserts that the private business will improve the public services and
this will attract more profits as well as greater tax revenue.
