Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 313 pages

Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Some goods and services appear to be inherently public, such as legislation, criminal punishment, and fighting wars. Conversely, other functions, such as garbage collection, do not. This volume brings together prominent scholars from various academic fields, including law, economics, philosophy, and sociology, to address the central question of what makes a particular good or service fundamentally public and why. Governments and other public entities sometimes possess superior capabilities, enabling them to make the right decisions or adhere to fair procedures. In other cases, the provision of goods and services by public entities holds intrinsic value. By analyzing these answers, the authors also delve into the nature of the state and its authority. This handbook explores influential arguments for and against privatization and develops several key studies that explain, justify, or challenge the legitimacy and desirability of public provision of specific goods and services.
