Pity history demonstrates otherwise. As my favourite writer puts it, “Capitalism was content under Hitler, happy under Mussolini, very happy under Franco and delirious under General Pinochet.” The cosy relationship it has with China is no surprise to me.

Democracy and capitalism can have a good working relationship, but they’ll never be friends.
