There are lots of ways to consider "nationalization" but here are some examples. The US temporarily became a majority owner of GM as part of their 2009 bankruptcy. > Through the Troubled Asset Relief Program the US Treasury invested a total $51 billion into the GM bankruptcy.[93] Until December 10, 2013, the U. S. Treasury recovered $39 billion from selling its GM stake. The final direct cost to the Treasury of the GM bailout was $11[94]-12 billion ($10.5 billion for General Motors and $1.5 billion for former GM financing GMAC, now known as Ally).[95] Local tax incentives amounted to $1.7 billion, most of them in Michigan.[96][97] A study by the Center for Automotive Research found that the GM bailout saved 1.2 million jobs and preserved $34.9 billion in tax revenue.[95] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Chapter_11_reorganization https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Chapter_11_reor... https://jacobin.com/2019/10/general-motors-nationalization-uaw-strike https://jacobin.com/2019/10/general-motors-nationalization-u... Conrail was a consolidated nationalization of multiple failed or failing railroads. In hindsight it effectively served as a way to consolidate, restructure, and then re-privatize the operation of the railroads. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrail https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrail It doesn't have to mean that the government continues to operate the company directly indefinitely.
