Global growth in private security parallels outsourcing to NGOs‏

"Market extremists argue that the private sector can do almost everything better than governments. The most extreme do not concede the qualifier "almost" and argue that even the police and army should be privatized. The growth of private security companies (PSC) is generally seen as a result of the success of extreme market arguments. Less commented upon is a parallel growth of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) engaged in healthcare, education and social services development, especially in the Third World, that was once provided by public institutions", writes Yves Engler in counterpunch http://www.counterpunch.org/engler08262010.html
