During Reason Weekend, the annual event held by the nonprofit that publishes this website, Reason Foundation analysts Adrian Moore and Len Gilroy gave a detailed overview of trends in privatization and the massive benefits privatization holds for government and taxpayers alike.
Approximately 35 minutes.
