By Emily, Paris, France

"Demokratie ist stabil, wenn ein Land reich ist. Und sie ist stabiler, wenn die Schere zwischen Arm und Reich klein ist. Reiche Länder sind zu einem hohen Anteil Demokratien. Aber Modernisierungstheorien haben unrecht: Wirtschaftliche Entwicklung ist nicht der Grund dafür, dass ein Land überhaupt erstmal demokratisch wird. Demokratien entwickeln sich anders als Diktaturen (bis auf ganz arme): Sie setzen weniger Arbeiter ein als Diktaturen, haben aber eine höhere Produktivität und können die eingesetzte Arbeitskraft besser ausnutzen; sie zahlen höhere Löhne; ein höherer Anteil der Produktion fliesst letztendlich an die Produzierenden zurück. Diktaturen dagegen entwickeln sich, indem sie viel Arbeitskraft einsetzen und diese schlecht bezahlen. Besonders Frauen geht es in Demokratien bei gleichem Wohlstand besser als in Diktaturen: Sie leben länger, bekommen weniger Kinder, sind besser ausgebildet und erhalten höhere Löhne."
