Yes, I think India's economy always has been a mixed economy, and by Western standards we are much more of a market economy than a public sector-driven economy.
Let me say again that the relationship is asymmetrical: there's no democracy without a market economy, but you can have a market economy without democracy.
So I think one can say on empirical grounds - not because of some philosophical principle - that you can't have democracy unless you have a market economy.
Having seen a non-market economy, I suddenly understood much better what I liked about a market economy.
Let me put it this way: I think Republicans tend to keep the ball in play, Democrats go for broke.
The thing that makes reading and writing suspect in the eyes of the market economy is that it's not corrupted.
I think it's important Republicans be in the majority so, like my Democratic counterparts, I give to the party.
I think the good old British democracy should keep scrutinising and pressing to get the truth out.
It has been true in Western societies and it seems to be true elsewhere that you do not find democratic systems apart from capitalism, or apart from a market economy, if you prefer that term.
