Q.1.20 Although government intervention in an economy is sometimes justified,
governments may still fail when they intervene. Government failure occurs
because:

prosperity;
(2)
Government organisations are largely bureaucratic and, as such are
not subject to competition or under pressure to maximise profits;
(3)
Both statements (1) and (2) are correct;
(4)
Neither statement a nor b is correct.
