Here is one economist (I assume from his title) and his take on the idea of government intervention in the economy:

Instead of stimulus, do nothing – seriously

Agree or disagree, there is some historical precedent for minimizing government intervention - and some historical precedent for assessing what impact previous interventions have had.

So you’re quoting Robert Higgs.

Libertarian Anarchist. Austrian School economist.

So uh… good luck with that! Basically, this is Ron Paul’s position.
