governmentalism 的词源

“扩大政府权力和范围的倾向”，1841年，来自 governmental + -ism；最初是指法国，可能源自法语。

Besides this, it is a well known fact, one made sufficiently clear by the history of the United States, that the less governmentalism there is in a country, the better it is for the citizens as to their material interests. A very complicated governmental apparatus, when, especially, it is useless, is and can be only hurtful to the interests of the mass of the people. [Amedee H. Simonin, "Resumption of Specie Payments," 1868]

除此之外，一个众所周知的事实——这一点通过美国的历史得到了充分证明——就是，一个国家的 governmentalism 越少，公民在物质利益上就越好。一个非常复杂的政府机构，尤其是当它无用时，只会对大多数人民的利益造成伤害。[阿梅德·H·西蒙宁，《恢复金本位》，1868年]
