Funny narratives and government size | Sofia:
'via Blog this'
There is not such a thing like a retreat of the state in the most developed capitalistic countries. If we consider the years between 1980 and 2012, there is no trend in aggregate data for government size, even if we observe cycles of upswings alternating with movements in the opposite direction. The last change leaved the government size for a significative sample of capitalistic developed countries close, in average, to what this share was in the eighties.
