The ratio public wealth and resources have to privately held land and concentration of capital has public debt and tax rates as factors too. Plainly vast public debt prompts some politics toward selling off ecospheric infrastructure. Ecostructure is a complex web of life opaque to many in public and private sectors alike.
Beyond environmental economics criteria public land and resources are regarded by some economists as unproductive unless converted into private profit.
Natural resource goods and services become valuable solely within privatized accounting structures and that is a grave social mistake in regard to keeping the Earth a healthy, viable living space for humans of future generations. Having 34 trillion dollars of public debt compounding annual means that someday most public assets are likely to be sold off.
