What's It Mean?

More and more, a new word is being seen. It's a very useful word. You’ll find it used considerably in the bestselling book, Liberty & Tyranny by Mark Levine, an attorney out of New York. The word is …statist. It means:

One who subscribes to the practice or doctrine of giving a centralized government control over economic planning and policy.

A quote from L&T: "The media sing like a nay-saying Greek chorus, amplifying the mantra for greater statist authority. No matter how robust the economy, they claim the imminent threat of recession or depression. And when economic hardship is manifested, often at the hand of the statist, they join the statist in condemning the free market and advocating for more government.”
