Governments have been taking control of activities - 'public'
goods, 'public' utilities, welfare and local government services -
which would have been better left to the private sector. Most of
them were being privately provided before the state crowded out
private initiatives. People will increasingly escape to non-state
suppliers unless the government withdraws from many of these
activities. Government should reduce its share of national income
from 40 per cent to 20 per cent. Arthur Seldon, for many years the
IEA's editorial director, argues that attempts to correct market
'imperfections' have created over-government. But the 'escapable
power of political government' is up against the 'irresistible
economic force of the market'. Sir Samuel Brittan contributes a
comment in which he says that Seldon's paper reveals 'a deep belief
in the superior ability of ordinary citizens to make their own
choices and decisions better than governments or experts or
committees'.
