The EU requires Greece to privatise most of its public companies. There are similar, voluntary plans in other European countries as well. It seems, therefore, that privatisation might be "the solution" to the big problems of our time. 

However, three big previously independent Dutch banks had to be rescued by the Dutch government - or "nationalized" as the Dutch say. This leads to the question whether the motives for privatisation are found in society or in greed for individual profit.
