That's the question though right? Is philanthropy the reason the state does not do what's needed? Or is the state not doing what's needed the reason for phila

That's the question though right?
Is philanthropy the reason the state does not do what's needed?
Or is the state not doing what's needed the reason for philanthropy?
Or perhaps it's both?
In any case we can't really figure out how to get to a game theoretic local optimum of maximum state participation and maximum philanthropy, until we can dig into the real reasons a lot of these things are and are not done.

It seems obvious the state doesn’t do enough when you have a government that doesn’t believe in the state doing anything but the barest minimum that will get them elected. On the scale of government spending philanthropy barely registers, it’s only raised as an issue in an attempt to distract from the real question.
