Canadian Privatization and the Closing of the Iron Cage. In this essay, I will examine Weber's philosophy, the basis of his beliefs and the development of his notion of the closing of the iron cage. This will provide a background from which I will address Canada's increasing governmental efforts at privatization and deregulation, policies which mirror Weber's understanding of the iron cage, since they create a system which strips people of power over their own lives.
