  1. Key Takeaways for Policymakers: 1. Critical services must remain public. 2. Private sector involvement must be strictly regulated and aligned with public interest. 3. Governments must rebuild in-house expertise to reduce dependency on outsourcing. 4. Corporate influence over policymaking must be curtailed. 5. Economic success should be measured by public well-being, not just GDP. By adopting these principles, policy can ensure that private sector involvement enhances, rather than undermines, public governance. We have a similar problem here in the UK, with a dysfunctional private sector repeatedly screwing the public over, and ministers insistent on pursuing partnerships with the private sector, without either rebuilding public sector capacity or putting on place regulstions with teeth that prevent failures and provide significant and meanigful consequences for them. The public purse is not for pickpocketing to make rich people richer. It's there to ensure a secure, effective and sustainable economic and social foundation for everyone to function optimally. Whatever deal is done with whatever devil, parties given the privilege of governing must not facilitate the abuse of its citizens to pay off its donors for their support.
