No DP2005-01, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Unlocking human potential requires a rich network of institutional arrangements in both private and public spheres. Opening the private sphere to entrepreneurship and complex market organization is well understood as a key to increasing the level and quality of private goods available to consumers. Opening the public sphere to entrepreneurship and innovation at local, regional, and international levels is also a key to increasing the level and quality of public goods - e.g., peace, safety, and health - available to citizens.
