Both Martin Wolf and Charles Hugh Smith have good essays on government. In many ways this debate goes to philosophical pre-disposition.
My take? See A few thoughts about the limitations of government and A brief philosophical argument about the role of government, stimulus and recession on government’s role. Also see A more in-depth description of how elites maintain status quo ante regarding the nexus of government power and cronyism. I may have more to say later.
