Marx's theory of alienation and the commodification of water in South Africa

This dissertation uses Marx's theory of alienation in seeking to give a fuller understanding of the commodification of domestic water. As such, it also focuses on the socio-historical process of the provision of water through privatisation in the dominant mode of production: capitalism in its neoliberal phase.
