Public-Private Partnerships may not be the bargain we have been led to believe.

I still hold that PPP is neither inherently good or inherently bad. It's fundamentally an outsourced contract, and how well it works out depends on (1) who the private party is, and (2) how well the contract is negotiated. It's the exact same situation for a private corporation that chooses to outsource part of its operations.

If we don't have bureaucrats who are good at negotiating business contracts, then that's one thing that should be addressed urgently.
