Matúš Kočalka, Chapter 4, Question 3

The author mentions, that when the government is the only provider of the services (monopoly), it is a problem. He proposed that the government should rather hire private companies to build e.g. highways, and thus not to do it by itself.
This is kind of controversial - in some countries it´s probably better solution, but in others, it´s very risky. Building a highway was an enormous issue in Slovakia a few months ago. In our government, we´ve currently a really corrupted political party that rules the whole Slovakia. By hiring private companies to build the highway instead of building it on their own, they could conceal the corruption that was going on. They simply got rid of the responsibility - since the public attention is usually on them and not on some company. So it wasn´t successful at all.
So basicaly there was a public competition, that was won by one certain company with connections to the leaders in this party even before it became public, and this company used almost all of the money for their private usage – they didn´t even pay salaries to the workers that they hired for building the highway, and now there´s no one who would pay them for their work.                                                   So in our- Slovakian case, it simply caused even worse corruption, since the government get rid of the responsibility by building it, and hired private company to do the “dirty job” instead of them.
