5 What is the ideal situation? The role of the government is not making business. The role of the government is to foster the tax base. The government can not create economy. It can assist and support it but it is the role of the private sector to create economy. Mona Serageldin Harward School of Design,1995 Gdansk Technology is no longer the issue the issue is getting the technology we have to market. Getting technologies to market is not a strenght of government. Taking products and services to market is the strenght of the private sector.
