The role of the state in providing goods and services is crucial as public goods such as healthcare, education, transport and infrastructure are regarded as unprofitable or too risky for individual private firms to undertake, yet they are also fundamental to a population’s well-being.

When states have high ability to provide goods and services that are necessary for socioeconomic development, they are less reliant on private firms to provide such goods and services. They also become a more desirable location for TNCs to operate in as these conditions favour economic growth. As such, states have more negotiating power over the terms which TNCs are allowed to operate under, and do not need to consult with private firms before making any economic decisions, allowing states to manage and control the actions of TNCs more independently.

The role of the state in providing goods and services is crucial in in governing the national and global economy because these goods and services - namely, transport, health, education and infrastructure - are seen as too risky or unprofitable for individual private firms and/or are fundamental to a population's well-being. For public goods, TNCs which are profit-maximisers could either lose profit when the state controls production (free-ridership problem), or they could exploit consumption by over-pricing when the state has no control. Therefore, the state plays a crucial role in ensuring that these goods and services are made available to all, so as to improve the standard of living in the country. Therefore, this stimulates consumption and attracts investments locally and globally (FDIs), leading to economic growth.

The state plays an important role in providing goods and services as it's ultimate goal is to provide what is best for its people. Private firms are often profit-driven and whether those who are truly in need of essential services such as healthcare wouldn't matter to them as their job is to maximise their total revenue. Hence, by government still being involved in handling the provision of certain key goods and services not all control is lost to the hands of those who do not have the people's best interests at heart. They are still able to control what they would like to change to improve the accessibility and affordability to basic necessities without having to negotiate with private firms.

The role of the state in the global economy is to act as the institutional representation of the people it represents. Where in a capitalist global economy, this means that firms are profit driven and their agenda is not bound to the welfare of the people but it is to maximize profits for its shareholders. Because of this, the private sector will act in ways that are ultimately harmful to society. For example, in the provision of public goods, the role of the state is crucial as the state, unlike profit driven private firms are compelled to act in a way that ensures a more equitable distribution that looks out more so for the general population where its existence is continued in spite of being less profitable. Like in the case of the healthcare sector where the provision of healthcare services are heavily tied to the public health policies of the state where in some countries, the state can actually act as the main provider of major aspects of healthcare like insurance through the use of a universal healthcare system. Like in countries of Japan and Norway where the provision of a universal healthcare system has allowed for a great level of success as in such countries, the ability to receive free or heavily subsidized healthcare treatment has allowed for a very healthy population as seen with their very high average life expectancy rates. With the exception of the USA, all other major developed country has a universal healthcare system which is indicative of the role of the state in providing basic human needs.

Public goods also fall under the free-rider problem where the provision of the good for any additional user won’t incur any costs for that user as it’s not possible to charge them such as defence. Therefore, the only entity willing to bear the costs and run an unprofitable objective would be states which can cover the costs by imposing taxes.

Role of the state regarded as an indispensable element as the global economy is ultimately geographically situated – with its activities taking place – in national territories maintained by states. Therefore, providing essential public goods and services is one of the ways in which the state gains control in influencing the level and extent of economic activities taking place within its national boundary. E.g when improving transport services, the state is essentially shaping itself to be weaved as one of the important nodes in the global economy – with transportation and physical global connections progressively garnering significance against the backdrop of globalisation

It is crucial for the government to provide goods and services for the public to prevent a fall in societal welfare and increase equity among people. Governments often provide for national defense. Public goods and services provide benefits to more than one person at the same time, and their use cannot be restricted only to those people who have paid to use them. If a good or service cannot be withheld from those who do not pay for it, firms expect to be unable to sell it and therefore will not produce it. In market economies, governments provide some of these goods and services. Governments supply goods and services when it appears that the benefits to society of doing so outweigh the costs to society. Hence, government provision of public goods and services allow for allocative efficiency and greater societal welfare.
Moreover, by providing goods and services, the state has the capacity to attract investments.

Why is the role of the state in providing goods and services crucial in governing (i.e. managing and controlling) the national and global economy?

the state needs to provide goods & services to maintain control over its economy and territories as well as ensure that its for everyone's benefit rather than just for those who can afford it. for instance, health and education services, if provided by private firms, may cost way more as compared to with the support of  government funding so that most people would be able to afford it. the government would have the good of the general public in mind, rather than to make a profit.

The role of the state in providing goods and services is crucial in the national and global economy mainly because of its duty to protect its country’s well-being.
1. To ensure economic development for the country, states need to maintain and welcome relationships with TNCs and to do so, they have to make themselves attractive to draw TNCs’ investments. This is done so through the provision of services such as transport services making the country more accessible, infrastructure services which ensures the availability of fundamental services required by firms, as well as healthcare and education services which indicates Hugh quality of human capital for TNCs to tap on. In attracting such foreign direct investments into the economy, the economy is boosted with higher national incomes and there may even be greater job creation for locals, reducing unemployment.

2. To ensure that profit maximising firms do not exploit the local economy solely for profit purposes, it is essential for the state to be a direct provider of certain public goods which are considered necessities for the population. Examples of this includes transport, education, health, infrastructure , and public housing. These are seen as to risky or unprofitable for individual private firms to provide, but are essential to the population. In order to ensure that the population would be provided with access to such necessities at an affordable price, states have taken up the role of providing such goods and services.
