Two Promising Policy Metaphors?
There is a philosophy of government inherent in this blog's view. Markets fail, and often so does the public sector. Government can't go it alone, but neither can businesses. They and the nonprofit sector can achieve much more working together than apart. The functions that state governments can play in development are as broker, catalyst/leader, investor, service deliverer, and stabilizer. There are places where government should contract; there are others where it should expand. It is all about rethinking the mixed economy and re-imagining the idea of economic progress.
