Genuine question since I know sfa about this area, but
I'm assuming there have been some studies done on it.
Also, there are some obvious benefits to the
government/people in retaining such assets, as you yourself point out with the example of a letters
service for country peeps.
The position that pro-nationalisation people would hold is that there are
some essential services in society which, while expensive, are essential to be retained so that
there is a greater level of control, to stop inequality, make delivery easier etc.
