Look at the 100 year long term trend for all countries worldwide. There's a rather shocking chart out there that shows the massive increase in govt spending as % of GDP. whereas it was in the single digits about 100 years ago, now it's in the 30-50% range for most countries. I just don't see this trend reversing.
- pjc50 4y ago100 years ago was 1922. The world was an extremely different place then. This is like saying that air travel has increased massively since 1900. 1922: - PRC does not exist - India is a UK colony; most of Africa is not independent countries - Japan in "great power catchup" phase - Soviet Union has just formed and the war against the White Russian forces has not yet ended
