摘要

在过去的几十年里，国家服务的私有化一直是政治冲突的导火索。本文的目的是解释为什么福利国家的支持者在某些情况下也可能支持某些国家服务的私有化。最近的哲学文献集中于最有问题的私有化倡议，特别是引进私人监狱和军事承包商。作为一种对比，本文描述了一套止痛的私有化，理解为任何理性的人都不会反对的私有化。这一分析的关键步骤是表明私有化不是一个单一的现象。私有化有不同的类型，不同的程度，私有化的动机也不同。这些倡议之间也存在着重要的规范差异，这可能导致一个理性的人支持某些倡议而不支持其他倡议。

Anodyne Privatization

Privatization of state services has been a flashpoint for political conflict over the past several decades. The goal of this paper is to explain why someone who is a supporter of the welfare state might also support the privatization of certain state services, in certain cases. Recent philosophical literature has focused on the most problematic privatization initiatives, especially the introduction of private prisons and military contractors. As a counterpoint, this paper describes a set of anodyne privatizations, understood as privatizations that no reasonable person could object to. The key step in this analysis involves showing that privatization is not a unitary phenomenon. There are different types of privatization, different degrees of privatization, and also different motives for privatization. There are also important normative differences between these initiatives, which might lead a reasonable person to support some but not others.
