The question of public good is an interesting and important one.
It would be good if some anarchists could answer it directly. I am personally not sure that they have a universal plan how to organize community services, such as the police service through local private police companies as Warren presents it. First, there would be no private companies but only public companies (i.e., cooperatives managed by those who work in them). Thus a public company in a sense automatically provides a "public" service. Second, I would expect that due to the Decentralization, every community could have a somewhat differently organized police and other community services as it would suits best each particular community.
The the Federation arrangement of decentralized communities could take care of dealing with the large-scale projects mentioned, and also of the public good on regional and more global scales.


In any case, the attitude of people to 'public good" is and will continue to be determined by the level of education of citizens, which can only be expected to be improved in a free society.
