Answer:
The public sector exists because citizens agree upon services that should be provided but can not be provided by the private sector. ie. roads, post office, national defense, air/water quality, food quality assurances, education, etc. If the private sector can provide the same level of service at a better cost then the private sector should provide those services. However, public sector markets work in areas called "failed markets". Failed markets preclude private solutions since there is inadequate or no revenue generated for the service provided. Case in point - clean water. Government oversee and provides clean water to citizens because it is something Americans believe should be available to all Americans. An example of counties with little or no public work are third world states. Africa, some central American, and south American states, etc. In these countries a small portion of the population has nice homes, public safety, roads and medical care. The state does not provide these services for the majority of the population and most people can not afford to hire private contractors to build nice roads to their house or hire doctors or educate their children. These countries are closer to a pure capitalist or private sector system. These countries have at some level, decided that the level of public good required for fellow citizens is very low by American standards. At the other extreme are countries like Cuba. Cube may actually have a better medical system (at lease on the preventative level) than the USA. But the nation state control is excessive so there is little incentive for people to start up businesses and therefore jobs are scarce and innovation is limited. The US historically has
