However, I think all is not lost. Govts can and do wake up and can get their act together if citizens insist. So, if education is outsourced, what about health care? Obviously that should be outsourced too. So why should we at all have a govt? What is the need to spend millions to elect representatives? why not leave it to the richest to govern? After all, according to you, the govt is a failed enterprise. It is terribly upsetting that govt schools are not able to deliver the quality that they had thirty years ago!

Government's role would be then more than regulation and rules provision for the education sector?.

Government’s role would be then more than regulation and rules provision for the education sector?.

I think one day an economist woke up and said "electricity is too critically important for the future of India for it to be left to the government" and bingo!The contract was handed to private sectors?What happened next?Well it's certainly not a service because I doubt the power cut issue has been solved in cities like Delhi.In fact it has become even worse,but no one wants to point a finger just because it's the private industry. " If the government cannot do better than the imperfect markets can, then it is better for us to live with the results of the market failures." Oh really?It's failure either ways but it's a big deal if the government does it however you do not have any problem if the 'imperfect markets' fail along the way.Just curious,how is it better for us to <i>live</i> with result of the market failure?And in that sense,isn't the government also an imperfect market? Will a private company ever make education free for all?Obviously we('we' as in general) are not going to employ some small contractor for the project.It's going to be a big company who will be quite interested in profits.You yourself say that "no one knows what amazing stuff the market will deliver" then how can you be so sure that it will be amazing? I don't read your blog(sorry economics is not subject,science is but I do not 'thinking',which is not a subject,by the way),but I don't think I need to go through your old post to understand how much of an anti-government person you really are. “Education is too critically important for the future of India for it to be left to the government.”
