When I ask my leftist friends to identify a nation that got rich with big government, the knowledgeable ones try to change the subject.

The ones who are not well informed will oftentimes cite Denmark.

It is true that Denmark has a big and expensive government.

And it also is true that Denmark is a rich nation by world standards (though well behind the United States).

But it is not true that Denmark became a rich country with big government.

Instead, it got rich when government was small.

I have an alternative hypothesis, it got rich when it was full of White Danish people with an average IQ of 100+ and ethnic/cultural solidarity.
