Issues in the debate over "privatization" of public lands in the US are evaluated, focusing on the key contention that private stewardship would promote more efficient allocation of national resources. The failure of private ownership & free markets to achieve all public policy objectives involved (eg, efficiency in satisfying demand for goods & services at the lowest incremental prices) is reviewed along with the historical rationales for maintaining public ownership; specifically, certain categories of public goods, indivisibility of some inputs (eg, wildlife preservation), & the necessity of political choice require combinations of public & private ownership. Since inefficiencies are viewed as persisting under both forms, careful monitoring of economic activity in both sectors is recommended; mechanisms for securing public goods if large-scale transfers of public lands occur are outlined. 11 References.
