Description

Explore new perspectives on urban economics and governance with Public Goods and Private Communities by Fred Foldvary. Part of the Locke Institute series, this book examines whether services like streets, parks, and dams must be provided by the government. Dr. Foldvary uses public choice and spatial theory to demonstrate how collective goods can be provided through a market process. By rejecting the standard market-failure hypothesis, the author shows that entrepreneurs can supply these essential services through consensual community agreements. Rather than looking at individual services in isolation, this work examines the management of entire private communities. This text offers a unique look at how market-based solutions can address the provision of social services and public goods within a community framework.

Offers an alternative to the market-failure hypothesis by exploring entrepreneurial solutions for collective goods.
