Public vs Private Enterprise

Posted: Tue, 29 August 2006 | permalink | No comments

I just read the best explanation of the whole privatisation issue (currently a hot topic, what with the Australian government trying to sell off the rest of the currently Government-owned telco):

Private enterprise is more efficient than the public service, by definition. [...] Of course, private enterprise [...] works by ignoring unprofitable tasks, while the public service exists to serve everyone.

From a comment on Random Acts of Reality. It's a good blog all round, I highly recommend it.
