WRITING 39B Chapter Notes - Chapter 11-15: Arson, Debt Bondage, Multinational Corporation
Document Summary
The privatization of olivar emphasizes the greater control multinational companies such as ksf have on american life, similar to today"s privatization of services. Ksf as the multinational corporation wants to own great water, power, and agricultural industries in an area that most people have given up on. (119). At the same time, there is much uncertainty with the people in olivar, as they know about early american company towns in which the companies cheated and abused people (119). This compares to today, where services such as the ambulance, are privatized. Services that should be complementary, as they are necessities for life do not come free of charge. Education is even under this category, where privatization leads to selectivity in who to educate. Debt slavery and company towns are reflective of restrictions that individuals have in society, and they are not able to gain the basic necessities in life for free.
