<<<Generally when you can have effective competition, private sector provision with at most only moderate regulation works better than government provision of services.>>>

Or you could say:

"A benign dictatorship is the most efficient form of government."

More likely, the answer will someday come from an economist with a mathematic model or highly complex regression equation that will find the optimal relationship between all the variables.

Until then, we are working in the dark. To be so passionate and close minded is premature. The first thing we need to do going forward is make sure that we do no harm. To be nasty to the poor and helpless should be a non starter.
