Public Sector Failings

Humans are naturally competitive.  Our reward system in the brain needs stimuli, and we strive to be competitive.  In an environment that discourages competition, what you see is greed.

Both the global financial crisis and public sector failings are caused by greed.

A cage full of mice with limited food sources, what you see is competitiveness, survival of the fittest.  The unfortunate weaklings lose out.

The same cage of mice with sufficient food sources, you will still some some mice eat all the food, while other starve, what you see is also competitiveness, aka greed, survival of the fittest. The food provider loses out.
