It's a fallacy to think that government can cause stronger economic growth then capitalism. You must agree with that. That the rich get richer in a pure capitalistic society then in less of one. A country with no government involvement would maximize the rich getting richer. With no government oversight, human rights would be violated, so government needs to do it's job, and protect people. But when economy explodes properly (and not contrived with the only posable outcome being failure), it's the rich exploding it, They are the cause, not a correlation. |
Or, to put it another way, the amount of money an individual has is (basically) the portion of the economy they have direct control over. People who are good stewards of their own personal economy see it rapidly grow and (as a result) end up "Wealthy". If your economy is set up to reward good stewardship while discouraging manipulation of the economy for personal gain the economy will grow rapidly, and everyone will be better off.
Unfortunately, the opposite is true of the United States today; and rent-seeking manipulators (like Goldman Sachs) are rewarded while solid stewardship is discouraged.
