- sparkie 8y agoYou have a bizarre perspective on history if you believe this. It is only recently that governments have tried to monopolize infrastructure developments. And they have the unfortunate outcome that they outsource the work to private entities which don't have to behave like regular companies (ie, compete in a free market). Governments waste money. If left to the free market, costs would be reduced because those who can't compete on costs would find themselves out of work.
