Sobre a ineficiência das administrações públicas

Dois comentários que dão que pensar a este post de Tyler Cowen:

"Inefficiency is a feature, not a bug. A government that is efficient at doing good things, is also efficient at doing bad things."

"This seems to be the argument. Since we cannot know what government can or should do well, we should make sure that, whatever it does, it does it badly. It is not enough to place limitations on government, because government will invariably extend its reach no matter what limitations you try to place on it. It is far, far easier to create incentives for government actors to behave with sloth and incompetence."
