Is there any source, maybe linked to in this thread itself, that explains why, although Scandinavian socialism is a myth, their welfare programs can be demonstrated to be failures?
Although historian Tom Woods says there weren’t any net tax cuts under the Reagan administration, the '80s were more prosperous than previous decades. Why?
The stock market crashed on October 29, 1929. Were the administrations of Harding and Coolidge as significantly (in comparison with their comporaries) pro-market as Woods implies?
Evangelist Sam Gipp (while saying America got its prosperity by God’s blessing) says “numerous European countries have tried free enterprise and have not excelled.” I think this is ridiculous, but I would like to know if anyone knows where he got this idea.
Yeah, so long as it doesn’t happen more than once a day please.
#2 Tom Woods email address is probably available through LewRockwell.com I have emailed him before and he responded. You can try to ask him directly.
#3 Information about Coolidge and Harding is readily available on Wikipedia, and there is probably data on Mises.org and LRC. The reason I say that is, it’s quite unlikely you will get an opinion superior to Tom’s in this forum, when most of us are not historians, and most of us did not live 100 years ago (I bet the average age on this forum is probably close to 25.)
Now that said, I think there is a disconnect, and Woods avoids discussing it, that the roaring 20s were an inflationary boom, so certainly the admins of that era were not particularly free market however they were radically laissez-faire compared to the subsequent administrations.
