No, why would it? A mix of local ineptitude and revisionist history isn't really saying anything about the counterfactual. Why is China not as rich as the West

No, why would it? A mix of local ineptitude and revisionist history isn't really saying anything about the counterfactual. Why is China not as rich as the West if it has had the better governance for a long time?
- secondcoming 3y ago> Why is China not as rich as the West I find this hard to believe
- RandomLensman 3y agoLook at GDP per capita, very simple. Middle-income country - they might even get stuck in that trap.
- natmaka 3y agoI don't think nor wrote that it "had the better governance", and merely proposed an explanation for what we know (acts of the governments, reaction of most citizens).
- RandomLensman 3y agoThen it isn't an "elephant in the room", i.e., dictatorship has not delivered in China.
