Evaluate the view that attempts by governments to eliminate market failure by intervening in markets for public goods and merits goods will inevitably lead to government failure.

This is a typical essay question taken from an AQA A2 Past Paper. In class, I encourage my students to draft essay plans to elaborate their arguments and develop their analytical thinking skills. Once we drafted a final version, I set my students the question as homework and in the next session we will compare their answer to a model answer written by me.
