At least that's what I found and I had the best mentors possible - Eamonn is my Academic Father from St Andrews and Madsen was, I think, his Academic Father. I have yet to see a scintilla of evidence that anything run by the state is remotely viable in the long-term. Coming from a science background, I've even come to the view that most interventionist policies attempt to defy the laws of thermodynamics, which is always expensive, however you measure "expense" Good luck with the rest of your academic career and further work and I hope that we hear from you as frequently as you are able to contribute!
