	Recession - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Market-oriented economies are characterized by economic cycles, but actual recessions (declines in economic activity) do not always result.
		There is much debate as to whether government intervention smooths the cycle (see Keynesianism), worsens it, or even creates it (see monetarism).
		Recessions are caused by a combination of endogenous cyclical forces and exogenous shocks.

	Public Goods and Externalities, by Tyler Cowen: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Most economic arguments for government intervention are based on the idea that the marketplace cannot provide public goods or handle externalities.
		Governments rely on bureaucracy and have weak incentives to serve consumers.
		Government often creates a problem of "forced riders" by compelling persons to support projects they do not desire.
