Aside from the occasional genocide, oppression, evil and torture, etc., it is inarguable that public policy could be implemented more rapidly in an autocracy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government, which sooner or later becomes autocratic government.
In nation after nation, democracy has taken the place of autocracy.
Good economic policy requires not so much the bravado to implement drastic change as the strength and wisdom to make reasonable trade-offs over the many years it takes to transform a country's standard of living.
Technology is moving quickly. Policy is not moving as quickly.
Bad policy tends to be done in a rush.
No country's policies are eternal; they do vary. People are growing old, and a new generation is coming to power. In a year's time, a government can look different. You can't influence them if you don't talk to them.
It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that democracy will improve the function of policy.
The only realistic view is that a human life arises gradually, which is not much help in making personal decisions or devising public policy.
The deadliest foe of democracy is not autocracy but liberty frenzied.
There is no better way to manage than by walking around. Autocracy doesn't work. Talk to people in their offices, find out what's on their minds.
