As my favourite author says, “Capitalism was content under Hitler, happy under Mussolini, very happy under Franco and delirious under General Pinochet.”

I share his belief that capitalism prefers advanced authoritarian governments to democracy. Not that democracy and capitalism can’t have a good working relationship. The years between approximately the end of WWII and the beginning of the 70s show that. But capitalism as an economic system doesn’t care much for democracy. Democracy is ‘bad for business.’

There’s a reason people like the Kochs and Rupert Murdoch do what they do. They know they’d be much better off if the U.S. became a modern dictatorship, like China.

Whose quote is that.
