I critique the oversimplified binary framing of a “centralised dictatorship with little freedom” versus a “most diverse economy with distributed power”. I argue that many variables affect outcomes, so a two‑sided comparison is misleading and I label the opposite view as defeatist.
- China’s economy grew 18× in the first quarter of the 21st century.
- Korea per‑capita gap today: 29×.

- Telangana per‑capita income: 3.87 L; Bihar: 69 k; ratio 5.6×.
- Investment rate: China 45 % of GDP, India 31 % of GDP.
- Female labour‑force participation: China 60 %+, India 19‑33 %.

I note that Doi Moi in ’86 changed the FDI regime.
