@kieryia Singapore, Japan, Taiwan, S Korea, Chile, and reform-opened China have all verified the power of this 'economic freedom' from different angles, even though they were not democracies during those periods. In contrast, The West has fallen into a vicious “ vote harvesting.”
@kieryia On the contrary. Hayek's theory has always focused more on individual freedom (economic freedom) rather than other factors. If an authoritarian government allows economic freedom and the free market continues to develop, it will eventually transform into a democratic free system.
