For anyone interested, this is what I was thinking of the other day:
"Business men play a mixed game of skill and chance, the average resultsof which to the players are not known by those who take a hand. Ifhuman nature felt no temptation to take a chance, no satisfaction(profit apart) in constructing a factory, a railway, a mine or a farm,there might not be much investment merely as a result of coldcalculation." The bee in my bonnet is that much more rigorous tests are erected in the name of efficient public investment, clearly to block public investment. In this sense, "government running more like a business" would be run less like a business and more like it is presently.
