This page doesn't seem to provide any reason for being here, except as a dictionary definition. I don't think dictionary definitions belong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.105.13.148 ( talk) 19:19, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
This example lacks the reasons why government subsidies have averse effects. Joepnl ( talk) 01:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
There are lots of very interesting types of possible government failures, so why are there no real-world examples? Is it too difficult to find expert consensus of an example, or even some likely candidates? I noticed some of the linked pages have examples (such as pork barrel) -- is it preferred to leave all real-world examples there, instead of on this page?

This article [i.e., Government waste] covers an important topic, but its content is very similar to government failure, and it has several problems, as already discussed on this [i.e., Talk:Government waste] talk page. Andrew 327 15:36, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
Note – I have cut & pasted the above comments from the original posting on the Government waste talk page. This was done after redirecting the discussion target on the Merger banners. Also I have refactored Andrew's comments by adding information in [brackets] to clarify what article he was referring to in his comments. – S. Rich ( talk) 03:24, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
I've removed some unsourced, POV/OR sections/material. This was done incrementally so that editors interested in restoring them can do so incrementally as well, fulfilling the WP:BURDEN of providing WP:RS for the material, sans OR and POV. – S. Rich ( talk) 03:41, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
The article currently has an original research maintenance tag. The content looks well sourced to me, which sections are OR? Andrew 327 02:59, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

The only salvation I can envision for this page is to rename it Government failure (public economics).
Coase was engaging in some serious internal mischief when he gave it this name in the first place (the joke is that it mirrors market failure in preferred effects, but not at all in less preferred effects).
This was all good fun while it remained in professional captivity. It's presence here is anything but professional captivity.
The present page title is guaranteed to befuddle the naive reader (in a biased way) before the reader has any chance to gain his or her bearings. Hats off to Coase's clever linguistic hack. Let's all have a good laugh, and then do the right thing. — MaxEnt 19:34, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
Article seems to subscribe to the deeply flawed idea of market populism. Failure must be defined by purpose - the purpose of government is to serve the needs of its people. Starvation is the easiest example.
Most failure arises not from too much control, but the absence of control. Instead of government controlling business (i.e., the movement of capital in and out of the country), business controls the government, leading to the death of democracy and widespread economic devastation. See: the third world. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.132.67 ( talk) 20:02, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
It has many of the best preserved seas, UK doesn't do better at safeguarding fish, did anyone write that as to mean EU should give on fishery policy? What a dreadful POV-push... 2A01:E34:EC12:36C0:8C23:A871:EBD8:650F ( talk) 02:42, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
