I am trying to get at why as well. In the interests of transparency, the way Professor Kinsella describes is much better for people to be able to see where their money is going at the end of the day. Could a sovereign wealth fund be used to invest in land or physical infrastructure? I am thinking of the amount of public land that has been given to private developers by successive Governments. Can we invest in the green energy infrastructure? What would the pros and cons of that approach be?
