Understanding the Private-Public Divide

Beschreibung

A distinctive new account why governments loom so large in market societies. Avner Offer explains how finance limits firms to short-term enterprise. For long term commitment business requires exclusive concessions and privileges. Only governments can manage uncertainty in the long-term interests of society, e.g. the challenge of climate change.
