I'll oftentimes\u003cbr\u003e share a table showing a list of nations that have achieved very good\u003cbr\u003e results by restraining the growth of government spending. I'll show how\u003cbr\u003e the burden of government spending declined as a share of economic\u003cbr\u003e output and I'll show how budget deficits also shrank as a share of GDP.\u003cbr\u003e I'll then ask my colleague from the other side to please share a list of\u003cbr\u003e nations that got good results by raising taxes. Unsurprisingly, the usual\u003cbr\u003e response is either untrue claims or hemming and hawing.\u003cbr\u003e When seeking to educate and convince a non-ideological audience\u003cbr\u003e that they should favor economic freedom, I've learned that there's\u003cbr\u003e no substitute for this kind of real-world evidence. Most people think of\u003cbr\u003e themselves as being practical. My daily columns are designed to reach\u003cbr\u003e these people. If I can reach their minds, maybe their hearts will follow.\u003cbr\u003e -- From the Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1925501671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781925501674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Connor Court Publishing Pty Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.17d","brand":"Dan Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241561895167,"sku":"9781925501674","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a75321fd-6166-437e-9fc1-3a14a8bc4ed4.jpg?v=1772654995","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lessons-from-the-global-laboratory-dan-mitchell-9781925501674","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
