I'm not saying the current publicly traded, previous/future private ownership, publicly regulated utility, non-profit, or any other form of ownership and governance would necessarily yield a better result than others. There can be benevolent dictatorships and oligarchies and malevolent democracies and republics. I'm more interested in why we (US specifically) celebrate democracy in public governance but seem to prefer oligarchy or autocracy in corporate governance.
