Question

The non-democratic governments had upper hand in economic growth over democracies in the period of ___________.

• A. 1900 to 1950.
• B. 1925 to 1960
• C. 1950 to 2000.
• D. 1975 to 2000.

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1950 to 2000.

If we consider all democracies and all dictatorships for the fifty years between 1950 and 2000, dictatorships have a slightly higher rate of economic growth. The inability of democracy to achieve higher economic development is a serious concern. But this alone cannot be a reason to reject democracy. We all know economic growth is dependant upon various factors like the country's population size, global situation, etc.
