现在有一种流行的看法认为,大政府和高税收额会降低经济增长。社会福利计划即使阻碍了经济增长,仍被认为是个社会公正的问题。但是美国加利福尼亚大学戴维斯分校著名经济学教授彼得·林德特在一本新书中提出,这些主张都是虚构的说法。在社会福利计划开支很大的国家,其经济增长并不比开支小的国家慢。 There is now a prevailing view that big government and high taxes will reduce economic growth. Even if the social welfare plan hinders economic growth, it is still regarded as a social justice issue. But Peter Lindt, a professor of economics at the University of California, Davis, put it in a new book, all of which are fictitious statements. In countries with large social welfare programs, their economic growth is no slower than in countries that spend less.
