The Potential of Privatized Governance

Privatized governance could lead to increased prosperity by addressing the systemic issues associated with traditional government structures. The vast market for governance as a service has a potential worth between $100 trillion and $200 trillion annually due to poor governance worldwide. Improving governance systems can unlock untapped individual potential, facilitating economic growth and opportunities. The example of poorly governed countries, where citizens lack access to essential services and opportunities, illustrates the drastic differences in wealth that can arise from governance quality.
