Excerpt:
Do many countries still have an important state sector? - The rationale for state ownership of commercial enterprises has varied significantly depending on countries and industries.While in many OECD countries, large waves of nationalisation occurred after the Second World War, in some others state ownership was also a product of the 1930's economic crisis and the associated rescue of banks. It was often the presence of significant social, economic and strategic interests that provided the motivation for state ownership in sectors providing public services such as public transport, post and telecommunications, electricity and water supply.
