[quote=EmilyHicks]Social issues aside, I am starting to think that China’s current authoritarian economic policy beats that of US economic policy.[/quote]
I personally think it’s not about authoritarian economic policy or free market economic policy. Our problem is the special interest groups. They hold way too much influence over the congress. When our govt wants to pursue a policy, it ends up having to listen to the interest groups (takes time) and makes decisions that are bad for US but good for the special interest groups.
I believe this is ‘required’ somewhat in democracy but it’s too extreme.
China does have extreme corruption problems though.
