"Since the culmination Civil War in 1865, the debate in the United States between states' rights and federal control ceased and was replaced by the still-occurring debate as to the extent the federal government should have power. With this debate has come increased questioning of the private sector model and whether the government should be handed total authority over certain sections of the economy, such as the healthcare or water utilities industries. It is essential to first define terms before delving into the topic. A free market is a market where the means of production and capital is totally private with little no government regulation, much less ownership. The players in the market have a vested interest in maximizing profit from the land, service, or product being sold, and likewise, the consumer desires the lowest price and superior quality. On the other hand, the public sector relies on socialized means of production and collective ownership of capital. Private proprietors are replaced with bureaucracy more or less loyal to the dictates of elected officials in office. In the public sector, pricing is not based on market supply and demand, but rather, the demands of voters as politicians are reliant on consistent votes. Often this will result in visible lower prices and, depending on the industry, a more equitable distribution of goods, services, and utilities- for democracy wills it. However, while the visible prices are lower in the public sector, the private sector succeeds in reducing unseen costs by being more economically efficient for a myriad of reasons, many of which are the result of monopolization and artificial pricing."
