Based on scholarly research compare and contrast the role of the government in the marketplace. In your response use arguments which support a greater role of the government (long-term social benefits and higher regulatory costs) and contrast with why this role should be minimized (short-term regulatory costs and higher social costs). Is there a healthy balance that can blend the two by the use of positive and negative incentives to maintain competitiveness in a sustained healthy environment? Are there potential alternatives which can achieve the dual objectives? Explain.

I do not necessarily need an answer to this I just need guidance on where to start
