Re: Public/private

"The confusion about public/private is highlighted by the very fact
that the term 'public' in one sense refers to the state ('public
sector') and in another sense refers to the people ('the public'),
whose actions, when not on behalf of the state, are thought to
constitute the 'private' sector."

And don't forget the "public" corporation, owned by a relatively small batch of rich people.
