You know, in the 1930's after the Wall Street Crash you can compare three countries economic growth as compared to government involvement in the economy; the USA, the UK and Germany. The USA and Germany were highly interventionist, while the UK much less so. The UK's economy grew the fastest, then Germany, then the USA. It was only with the onset of war that the USA's recovery kicked in. This would suggest, though certainly not prove, that a government keeping a mostly hands off approach to the economy is better.
Indeed. Glad I'm not the only one to read history. As a matter of fact, it would have been interesting to see how things panned out if there wasn't a war.



Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame. -- Song 8:6
