Different perspectives
Some favour stronger intervention.
Others favour market-based solutions and limited government.

- Where does it struggle to deliver outcomes?
A question worth considering
To what extent do my assumptions about government influence how I interpret its actions?
Another angle worth considering
Many people who think about this issue also consider how it connects to other areas.
