deprivatization
Returning to government
Deprivatization is the transfer of privately owned assets or services back to public or government ownership—the reversal of privatization.
A government might deprivatize utilities, transportation, or healthcare systems that were previously sold to private companies: The new administration pushed for deprivatization of the water supply after rates doubled under corporate management.
