Description

"Skeptics argued that rising China could not rival the United States because authoritarian institutions inhibit technological innovation. But in the mid-2020s China is one of the world's most innovative countries. China (and several other autocracies) succeed by tempering repression and pursuing prudent economic policies: by being, as Aristotle advised, "half-vicious.""-- Provided by publisher.
