    Well, the most efficient form of government is a dictatorship, which nobody want except the dictator.

    An inefficient government has groups investigating other groups to see if what they are doing is correct. This process takes time, so things move much slower. But is generally a much better protection against corruption.

      You say that, but… Iraq was a dictatorship, and they weren’t all that efficient at anything other than killing Kurds.

        That’s because they’re politically illiterate. The important difference is the economic model and its end goal. Is it to make a small elite super rich? Is it to meet the peoples’ needs? The US is extremely efficient in creating a small class of super rich people (and by that I mean corporations too) while China is extremely efficient in switching to renewable energy and expanding high speed rail.

      I mean… some people do, but they’re weird.
