So post ww2 for the US? We've still one of the best counties to live in.
Edit. Are you claiming social programs are created to flex your country? Do you have proof of this?
- pclmulqdq 4y agoI am not claiming that social programs are a flex. The military is a flex. Post WW2 for the US, post-Victorian era in the UK, post-Napoleon in France, post-Tarism in Russia, post-oil-boom in Scandanavia, etc. Countries with big social programs are still great to live in, but I only mean that the social programs and big government are clearly not part of the reason why those countries became rich. The big government is caused by the wealth, not the other way around.
- themitigating 4y agoThat doesn't mean a big government isn't responsible for maintaining that wealth which is why I mentioned post ww2 us.
