I found that the biggest ideological stamp is democracy; its opposite is authoritarianism, which represents backwardness, while democracy represents the most advanced productive forces, the most powerful.
Alright, let me pull some data:
The vertical axis is GDP per capita, and the horizontal axis is the level of democracy. The question arises: how high is the correlation between democracy and economic development levels?
If we factor in population, meaning the large circles for China and India spread out, then democracy and economic development levels are basically unrelated.
Some say it's all China's fault for being an outlier, so let's remove that. Also, remove Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and others. Yes, it would be best to only compare the lighthouse countries, the United States and China. 😂
Conclusion: Whether or not there is democracy is basically unrelated to economic development, R should be less than 0.1.
