Translate the following sentences into English: (8 points each)
V zemích, kde veřejné služby nejsou ani veřejně poskytované, ani veřejně financované, obvykle
nepodléhají vládní regulaci, protože soukromý sektor zajistí dostatečné množství těchto statků.
Nicméně statky, jejichž spotřeba je nerivalitní a nevyloučitelná, jsou zaručeny státem. Jedná se
například o armádu, veřejné zdravotnictví nebo policii. I v těchto případech však může veřejný
sektor spolupracovat se soukromým, zejména při nákupu materiálu, stavbě nové infrastruktury
či poskytování dodatečných služeb.
