That's the economist's solution - just assume the problem will be solved by someone given the proper incentives, and that deductive plan will work in all cases and all locations, LOL.

Not.

they can imagine that private entrepreneurs are champing at the bit to provide private roads and private dams and private levees if only the government would butt out!
