    The private sector does a very good job of funnelling profits to key people at the top. The same key people who build relationships with politicians. The same key people who get knighthoods and employ those same politicians as non-exec directors.

    Both public and private have their problems - the former suffers from conservativism and inflexibility, the latter from graft and structural corruption.

    Both suffer from all the problems you listed, just to different degrees because of the different protections and pressures they have.
