I've never seen a country with few regulations and poor, but every poor country I saw was over-regulated.
You think freedom causes wars and conflicts of interests? Come here, to Ethiopia, the more government intervention for "development" and for "introduction of democracy" plus for "women empowerment", the more wars occur. It's enough we have the bloodiest war in the 21st century, much bloodier than ISIS insurgency or Russia-Ukraine war.
The more taxes, more welfare, more government control, more cultural deterioration, more free health care the government offers for higher taxes "only on the rich" as they say (and that's even unfair for the rich who did nothing wrong), the less peace we have

@horrificpancake2000 it's hard to get reported informations, but I've experienced it myself, 35 percent on income tax above 100 usd/month, more corruption with more funding for projects, even our grand dam, 15 percent VAT, increased tariffs, increased central bank regulations with little increase in interest rates (to allow the government to take more loans from the central bank for "development and welfare" (but actually for war funding with newer turkish and iranian technologies))
All this because of increased government intervention for "welfare and development", the victims are the rich and poor, it's just equality in oppression, not actual social justice as they claim.
I mean, they have alot of fiscal spending in education and healthcare, but they are funded by taxes that discourages employment and investment. Forget about investment or employment, it's just unfair for the government to take whatever they want just because a bunch of parliamentarians want it, how is my money being unjustly taken from me be considered justice?
