How did the check to collectivism emphasize the government?
" the check to collectivism did not check the growth of the government;rather, it diverted its growth to a different channel. The emphasis shifted from governmentally administered production activitiesto indirect regulation of supposedly private enterprises and even more to governmental transfer programs, involving extracting taxes from some in order to make some grants to others-all in the name of equality and the eradication of poverty but in practice producing an erraticand contradictory melange of subsidies to special interest groups. As a result, the fraction of national income being spent by governments has continued to mount." (Freidman xiii)
