ABSTRACT
Any attempt to focus on the main topic of this paper has to start with an examination of the rationale for the involvement of the state in Trinidad and Tobago in directly productive activities in the first place. On the other hand, the nature of plural societies dictates that equity considerations receive special focus for a number of reasons important to the integrity of a country like Trinidad and Tobago. The paper will attempt, therefore, to discuss three main issues that derive from the privatization of state enterprises and the divestiture of state responsibilities in the country.
