Description Personal interest is one of the most important part of economy interaction. According economic theory is personal interest the only motivation to be part of market. As Mandevill has shown in the “Fable of the bees”, without personal interest our wealth decrease. This mechanism is same in public sector and self interest can be one of strongest instrument of public administration. This fact illustrates one example from history. In 1670 was established Hudson’s Bay Company, which substituted state for two hundred years. Backbone of public administration was market.
