Public interest and private interest
Main Article Content
Abstract
It is attempted, in this article, a discussion of the dichotomy between public versus private interest. In the author's view, at the present stage of capitalism, this distinction seems unfeasible from a theoretical perspective, due to the classconscious character of the capitalist State and to the changes in its standards of production.
The writer believes that a discussion on these two kinds of interest – public and private - must leave the institutional organizative level (State/private organizations) and be transferred to a political and social context (the societal classes). He also argues that on this new way to plan for discuss the subject of public versus private interest should be decided from a reciprocal relation of forces between the classes and their respective parts.
