Today, some politicians and economists are calling for a significantly reduced role of government in the economy . They envision private businesses taking over some or most of the services provided by the government to its citizens . These individuals believe that the profit motive will make provision of these services by private , for -profit businesses far more efficient and thus less costly . What do you think ? Which , if any , government services do you think would be provided more cheaply and efficiently by a for - profit company ? Explain your answer using examples . ( WILL MARK BRAINLIEST )
