Power groups and economic growth

What is happening in Iran?

Countries with few power groups in control of the political system underperform countries with many power groups.

Look at what happened to the USSR. More recently Russia, Iran and Islam in general. They are mired by slow economic growth and poverty. They do not care about how fast the pie grows. What they care about is that the pie is big enough for them to eat it.

This is the classic historical formula for self-destruction. The markets always win.
