@Henkenomics Yea there’s a real steelman to be had here, but Chamath mentions spending as % of GDP in the replies as one measure of small government, so I do t think he gets it

The first of these was in response to the Jan Ott’s claim that the size of government does not belong in economic freedom indexes because it fails convergent validity. Ott’s paper: https://t.co/S7HaxMDZcU
@REAL_LA_RAZA @t1kes @jdcmedlock Also, I definitely think that more government spending and wealth can lead to more economic freedom! https://t.co/KVEfzvIjZx

@joseto_ortega Perdón por la autocita, pero el índice de libertad económica que usan los libertos para convencernos (o convencerse) de que NZ es un paraíso Hayekiano, es de un chanterío gigante. https://t.co/CVYugtTzp5
@stephen_housman @TPUSA The size of a government is not correlated with the freedom of its subjects. You have a very narrow, myopic definition of freedom. https://t.co/XvDSIhQIkG
@kcastilloh @jq888333 @JoaquinBaranao @freakyfly_ Es tan deshonesto que si le sacas la dimensión "Tamaño del estado", o si le cambias el signo, adquiere mejor consistencia interna. Es decir, a mayor tamaño del Estado, mejores indicadores de libertad económ

The more government = more liberty thing is funny because when you look at the libertarians own freedom indices (which are pretty flawed anyways), bigger government is correlated with more economic freedom as they measure it https://t.co/0kl7TlBS5I
@KevinWGlass Exactly. Nordic countries are routinely in the top 20 despite being dinged twice for "government size" (once for spending and once for taxation), perhaps because "government size" is inversely correlated with the other subcomponents. https://
@devarbol okay here is the one other paper that comes to mind https://t.co/S7HaxMDZcU
@NathanJRobinson The Heritage Foundation likes to include "size of government" in their freedom index, but it's been shown that the measure is more accurate without it, and government spending and transfers are actually positively correlated with high qual
@LibertariaNYC @mattyglesias The data actually shows that redistribution is correlated with economic freedom https://t.co/PJyTwgkDdn

This highlights the importance of distinguishing between "big government" and economic freedom. Spending on tax and transfers has essentially *zero* correlation with other measures of institutional quality: https://t.co/widqPCUpy0 https://t.co/naq7JRwPlg
