Interesting write-up. More interesting is that the paper fits your description closely when I loaded it. Might read it a bit more often out of curiosity.<p>&quot;Maybe there&#x27;s something to be said about a bit of totalitarian rule?&quot;<p>Or a combo of culture that cares with strong enforcement of good laws. I think that would suffice. Remember that there&#x27;s pretty safe democracies without totalitarianism.
