Voice and Growth: Was Churchill Right?
质疑现有研究低估了政治发言权平等化的收益,指出历史被忽视或误读,且统计检验不当,导致对民主制度优劣的争论未决。
The debate over whether political democracy is the least bad regime, as Churchill once said, remains unresolved because history has been ignored or misread, and because recent statistical studies have not chosen the right tests. Using too little historical information, and mistaking formal democratic rules for true voice, has understated the gains from spreading political voice more equally.
