On Government

can anybody really say that the risk of too little government is greater than the risk of too much? The dangerous idea we all need to learn is that the more we limit the growth of government, the better off we will all be.

That from Matt Ridley via Cafe Hayek. Don Boudreaux has 2 posts regarding Edge's list of Dangerous Ideas. The first linking Adam Smith's invisible hand to Charles Darwin's natural selection. And the second with the above quote, basically saying that with wealth comes more government and we must not be complacent in stopping government's growth.
