Make government great again | Sander Heijne | TEDxMaastricht

Does firing nurses to hire more administrative staff in a hospital really sound like the best use of funds? Does privatisation and a competitive market always end up with a win for the consumer? Sander Heijne delves into these questions to highlight the complexities and shortcomings of red tape. Heijne is a research journalist, historian and entrepreneur. He worked for the editorial economy of the Volkskrant for five years, where he developed a fascination for the effect of bureaucratic systems on our everyday existence. His research into this area will be amalgamated into a book of the marketing and privatization of the public sector in the Netherlands, published in 2017. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
