Abstract

The episode described above is used to provoke reflection on certain features of modern capitalism, in particular with reference to the role of the privatization. Starting from this event, we became involved in a debate on how much the privatization process has influenced (and, more importantly, will influence) the nature of the economic relationships between customers and providers (Stewart & Walsh, 2007), with the consequence that, suddenly and in a certain sense unconsciously, we arrived at the concept of medievalism and new medievalism.
