AB  - The importance of the golden mean or moderation in daily human life
has been advocated almost universally by all the great teachers of the
world. In the sphere of economics, however, it seems to have been
largely ignored. Determines whether preliminary evidence can be found to
give some support to the golden mean in economics. Uses the data for the
50 states of the USA, and the preliminary finding indicates that
ideologically moderate (golden mean) states do seem to perform better
than conservative states. But liberal states fare still better. One
possible explanation for this is that liberal states in the USA are
really moderates in the ideological spectrum of the world.
