This chapter provides both the motivational and the philosophical background against which an account of the wrong of privatization is then developed. It clarifies how to understand the concept of a public function and critically assesses existing answers to the question of when and why privatization is morally problematic. It also argues for a different diagnostic approach, which begins with what political institutions are for. The chapter investigates the nature of the disagreement on privatization. It critically examines and partly rejects four dominant approaches to the question of whether, when, and why the privatization of the public is morally objectionable: the distributive, motivational, sociocultural, and essentialist arguments.

This chapter focuses on the philanthropist as one kind of private actor. It argues that the philanthropist's duty to give should be understood neither as an imperfect duty of beneficence nor as a conclusive duty of justice, but rather as a transitional and provisional duty of reparative justice in contemporary societies. It also explains a duty that is “transitional,” as it should eventually be taken over by public institutions, or “provisional,” for in the absence of just institutions its fulfilment is simultaneously demanded by individual independence. The chapter explains why the duty is “reparative” as it is grounded on the wealthy's liability for wrongful harm to the poor. It discusses the funding of justice through private philanthropy and the provision of justice through private organizations.

This chapter reviews the abstract reflection on the philosophical foundations of democratic state authority and the more mundane details of administrative decision that make their contextual bases. It covers a set of theoretical spaces that range from Kantian universalism to moral particularism, from conceptual analysis to the interpretation of legal doctrines, and from political philosophy to organizational theory. It also discusses the principle of politics that is drawn from experiential cognition of human beings, which have in view the mechanism for administering right and how it can be managed appropriately. The chapter analyses the claim that neoliberalism, of which the privatization of governance is a signature feature, is haunted by an internal and irresolvable contradiction between ideology and practice. It explores neoliberalism as an ideology that promises a free world where individuals or entrepreneurs can fully realize and express their independent selves through free and competitive markets.

The chapter sketches a way out of the privatized state, by defending certain constitutional limits on privatization. It articulates, in broad terms, some policy proposals for rebuilding a more democratic and representative system of public administration, such as an educational program for the civil service. It also emphasizes how the education of the civil service should share many of the features of the civic education of citizens. The chapter discusses proposal concerns the introduction of democratic practices within the administrative state through arrangements like codetermination. It examines the purpose of arrangements that strengthen the democratic legitimacy of the administrative state and the citizens' trust in it without compromising its independence from undue political pressures.

This chapter shifts from independent private donors to contracted private providers. It looks at strong reasons to extend to the internal conduct of many private organizations the same demands of political justice and democratic governance that many political philosophers would instead confine to political institutions alone. It also talks about the transitional duty of democratic justice for nonpolitical associations that pursue justice as government's proxies. The chapter explains the collapse of a division of moral labor between political institutions and nonpolitical associations comes at great costs for the members' associative independence. It analyzes strong reasons that are grounded on associative independence that limit privatization and reestablish a sharper division of both institutional and moral labor between the political and the associational.
