There are, however, a number of problems with government intervention that favors a few. Nothing prevents a corrupt government from distributing favors to incompetent friends or relatives, a problem that has plagued countries like the Philippines. Even if a government starts out with the best intentions and carefully screens incumbents, government protection means that those who become lazy and inefficient are not forced to shut down.
risk of this approach: corruption, failure to remove incompetence.
