Yasheng Huang: Obuzdava li demokracija ekonomski rast?

Conventional wisdom credits China's authoritarian system for rapid economic gains, but deeper analysis reveals human capital and social foundations played the bigger role. At one point, China’s adult literacy rate reached 77 percent while India’s lagged at 48 percent, shaping their divergent growth. Comparing democratic India to its neighbor Pakistan, which endured long stretches of military rule, shows democracy can deliver robust economic performance. The true drivers of growth are education, health, and the gradual strengthening of institutions—not just infrastructure or strongman politics.
