I hadn't thought of that. Obviously I've been looking at human beings as more logical than they actually are. When I think about welfare states, Sweden disturbs me more than any other. It keeps its economy going by effectively requiring that all people work outside the home. That eerily resembles totalitarianism and isn't worth any amount of economic progress.
