> there is nothing the public sector can do that the private sector can't do better there are things it can do better: > (imperialism) its monopoly on the use of force and the absence of profit and loss constraints makes the state operate in a realm where it faces no competition and can forcibly extract resources from its citizens to fund imperialist ventures, unlike private actors who must rely on voluntary exchanges. this allows the state to direct resources toward conquest and expansion without concern for profitability or market efficiency. > (industriousness) suppressing resistance and internal dissent, thus fostering a type of industriousness that is not bounded by the need for consent or voluntary participation. through violence and monopolization, the state can expand its control over both territory and labor, creating conditions for national security ventures to thrive, unencumbered by the markets competitive forces. there are certain things that citizens are willing to surrender, willingly submitting to the coercion of the state in exchange for them, which the state must provide, irrespective of the circumstances. the private sector lacks the capacity to offer the same level of stability and certainty that the public sector can impose.
