While there is no blueprint for transforming a largely government-controlled economy into a free one, the experience of the United Kingdom since 1979 clearly shows one approach that works: privatization, in which state-owned industries are sold to private companies. By 1979, the total borrowings and losses of state-owned industries were running at about £3 billion a year. By selling many of these industries, the government has decreased these borrowings and losses, gained over £34 billion from the sales, and now receives tax revenues from the newly privatized companies. Along with a dramatically improved overall economy, the government has been able to repay 12.5 percent of the net national debt over a two-year period.

In fact, privatization has not only rescued individual industries and a whole economy headed for disaster, but has also raised the level of performance in every area. At British Airways and British Gas, for example, productivity per employee has risen by 20 percent. At Associated British Ports, labor disruptions common in the 1970’s and early 1980’s have now virtually disappeared

. At British Telecom, there is no longer a waiting list—as there always was before privatization—to have a telephone installed.
Part of this improved productivity has come about because the employees of privatized industries were given the opportunity to buy shares in their own companies. They responded enthusiastically to the offer of shares; at British Aerospace, 89 percent of the eligible work force bought shares; at Associated British Ports, 90 percent; and at British Telecom, 92 percent. When people have a personal stake in something, they think about it, care about it, work to make it prosper. At the National Freight Consortium, the new employee-owners grew so concerned about their company’s profits that during wage negotiations they actually pressed their union to lower its wage demands.
Some economists have suggested that giving away free shares would provide a needed acceleration of the privatization process. Yet they miss Thomas Paine’s point that “what we obtain too cheap we esteem too lightly.” In order for the far-ranging benefits of individual ownership to be achieved by owners, companies, and countries, employees and other individuals must make their own decisions to buy, and they must commit some of their own resources to the choice.

e 选项的原文对应点我给你划出来了，deterrence 是制止威胁的意思
d 我没看出来，你选 d 说明理由~

我选D是因为原文说国有企业在私有化后labor disruption消失了，那么就是说私有企业没有labor disruption，而国有企业有labor disruption，所以我就按这个意思选了D

author considers labor disruptions to be 是题目问的
我真有点不知道怎么解释了~
但是我会选择e
因为这个选项直接是文章的所诉，作者的态度
d选项里面
a phenomenon found more often in state-owned industries than in private companies
本身就有歧义是在private ，state-owned，都有，只是state 多
还是像你说的那样，
也许有些吹毛求疵
但是，从我做题来讲
e比d 更好~
所以我选了e

仔细想了想还是E更对。D的错应该在于私有企业其实不存在labor disruption这个问题，而按照D的说法私有企业是存在这个问题的，只是比国有企业少而已。
