THE DELIMITATION OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR
Governments have the exclusive right to use coercion, which means they can provide certain services funded by taxes. However, this doesn't mean that only governments should provide these services if private entities can also find ways to offer them without coercion. The idea that specific services should be reserved for the government is misleading and unjustified. Even if the government is currently the sole provider of a service, private agencies should be allowed to explore ways to offer it too.
The public sector should not be viewed as a list of functions limited to the government, but rather as resources that the government can use to provide services. The government should collect funds based on a consistent principle and should not have special advantages over private organizations. The rules governing public services, like roads, focus on efficiency and expediency instead of justice, differing from universal rules that apply to everyone.
While regulations for government services are necessary, there is a risk in incorrectly labeling privately owned places as public just because they are open to the public. There should be established rules for these private spaces to ensure safety and health requirements are met, but these rules differ from those that apply to government services.
