Public sectors fail, private sectors fail. Some cheery economists believe that non-profit organizations will step in to fill in the holes. Others say the market will do it by itself. Either technologies that could fill those holes will advance and become cheaper/more efficient, so investing will naturally be funneled towards them, or humans will once in a while deviate from the generic economic formula of making decisions based on self-interest alone. An example of investing for both self interest and for reasons that computers and economic models don't usually predict: http://trilliuminvest.com/ I met a lady who worked for this company a few years ago. It was the first hopeful thing I had come across in a long time.

(There is absolutely no single person, thing, or event to point fingers at, or to uproot.)
