Question

Why do governments fulfill some of society's needs, such as education, health care, and mass transit? because individuals and companies are not affected by those needs so that services that cannot be afforded by the private sector are made available so that all members of the society can participate because those needs are always fulfilled in a centrally planned economy?

Answer 1

Governments fulfill some of society's needs so that all members of the society can participate.
Society is a large group of people sharing the same geographical or social territory, typically subject to the same political authority and dominant cultural expectations. Government is the group of people governing an organized community.
