And man once was dependent upon wood for heating and cooking.
And upon himself to provide meat and food for his family.
Now, he is dependent upon an outside source.
I think as society improves and advances and population grows, YES, we are becoming more dependent on the government for more rules, regulations, standards, and common services, etc.
So, I think the evolution of the economic system (both local, national, and international) would tend to create more governmental regulations. If that is what you are saying big government is.
But, isn't that what an advanced society is?
