I would be somewhat wary of these claims. You have no idea how the survey was worded in order to get thoses results. It's like the political compass test. Damn near everyone becomes Bernie Sanders (left libertarian) just because of the way questions are phrased.

As societies become richer, they demand more government. The relationship is so reliable and robust, it’s about asclose as social science gets to a “law”. https://www.niskanencenter.org/cant-make-government-smaller/
I clicked a link in your article...
Don't hurt yourself trying so hard!
Excuse me, what?
Sorry, it was showing this linked to a different comment. I actually didn't get a chance to read the article you wrote as I had to run out for the day. Just glanced briefly at the wikipedia and thought that was funny considering how you said it was as close to a law in the social sciences and the link you provided said the exact opposite. Don't read too much into it.
