Not all privatization programs have been successful. For instance, the [[Dulles Greenway]] in Virginia has not turned a profit. The reason may be excessive government regulation, or the fact that there are so many competing free roadways operated by the State. Or it may have simply been mismanaged; failure sometimes occurs in the private sector just as it sometimes does in the public sector.

Some products, such as [[national defense]], are deemed to be [[public good]]s whose production cannot be feasibly privatized. However, this is controversial. Some economists, such as [[Murray Rothbard]], hold that all government services can and should be privatized, with citizens and businesses contracting directly with private firms for protection.
