Abstract
The issue of the appropriate size and roles of the public and private sectors is in a sense common to all mixed economies but is naturally of greater consequence to underdeveloped countries striving to attain a rate of economic development higher than what is possible under conditions of laissez faire. Historically, most countries have had at one time or the other to face this problem of the respective role of public and private enterprise. The classical economists dealt, although inferentially, with the great debate on the "agenda" and "non-agenda" of the state, 1 and a good part of modern welfare economics is taken up with the economic theory of the state.
