Private Alternatives to “Public Goods”

[tnu]

Hello everybody! I'm pretty new on the boards but I figured this was the best place to start asking. I figured this community would now more about the subject then I do and I would like to create a directory of private free market or charity alternatives to "public goods". Such as Underwriters Laboratories. Things like regulatory and standards organizations, welfare, and retirement. Anything that presents a private sector alternative to the goods and services provided by the state. I feel it would be an invaluable resource for educating people about this sort of thing and would ultimately benefit our cause a great deal.
