Summary

This quote suggests that private money, coming from individuals or businesses, is more inclined to embrace risks compared to government funds. Governments frequently prioritize stability and caution when allocating resources, whereas the private sector may be more open to undertaking ventures with higher levels of uncertainty. Private money can be more flexible and agile, as it is not subject to the same bureaucratic processes and regulations faced by government funding. This capacity to assume risks can propel innovation and progress, leading to potentially greater rewards and advancements in various fields.
