Len Shackleton quoted in Straits Times
Straits Times has quoted IEA’s Editorial and Research Fellow, Professor Len Shackleton in their piece covering the heated debate over water nationalisation.
Straits Times quoted:

“Sure, costs would be reduced were no dividends paid. But, government borrowing still has a cost… Yes, water is a mess. But, don’t suppose nationalisation is a panacea.”
