The Center for Global Economic Growth is a Project of Freedom Works, which is a free market think tank started by Dick Armey.

Wow, who'da thunk it. Most government authority should be granted to the states, and free-market capitalism leads to increased wealth for all. Someone should have written this down. ;-)

Just as this article says, the success can be accredited to free economies. Iceland is basically capitalistic (yet with an extensive welfare system). Luxembourg's economic system is capitalist. Hong Kong - capitalism. Denmark's economic system is capitalist, but the liberals have made progress in recent years. Ireland - capitalism.

This is important to note, lest the liberals think they can solves Africa's problems by dividing it into Kentucky sized mini nations.

Iceland is NOT a state of the world...It is a country...These globalists keep trying to convince us...

Interesting!

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Iceland: Ethnic groups: homogeneous mixture of descendants of Norwegians and Celts.

Estonia: Estonian 67.9%, Russian 25.6%, Ukrainian 2.1%, Belarusian 1.2%, Finn 0.9%, other 2.3% (2000)

Ireland: Ethnic groups: Celtic, English.

Hong Kong:Ethnic groups: Celtic, English

Denmark: Scandinavian, Inuit, German & Faroese

Luxembourg:Ethnic groups Celtic base (with French and German blend), Portuguese, Italian, Slavs (from Montenegro, Albania, and Kosovo) and European (guest and resident workers)

Only Luxembourg has what appears to be the richness of diversity.

And, "a state obtains obedience in one of three ways: repression, bribery and consent.

Bribery is not an independent option in its own right -- the bribes must be paid for by someone, who is convinced to fork over the money by either repression or consent.

Ping, since your namesake is mentioned prominently.
