Oh, I'm with you, there. But it is wrong to say there's no scientific evidence to support any of their claims. Also, there are many contributing factors, like the business cycle, to consider. There are, however, a few practices that we know to promote growth--like globalization and free trade.
I'm not overly enthusiastic about "scientific evidence" on the topic. I'm talking about practical results. Until free market fairy advocates can show me practical results of a fair and stable society that follows their predictions, I'm not going to take them seriously.

Well, that's where you differ. Free market folk seem to look for liberty and prosperity in key outcomes rather than equality.
