Agencies originally created to meet public needs are being warped into entities whose purpose is to generate revenue and, often, deliver private profits at public expense. In order to retain, fortify, and even improve this vital system we must conceptualize and explain the differences between the public economy and the market model and why those differences matter. Only then can we address, from a newly-informed perspective, questions of value and purpose.
