Authoritarianism Limit

Authoritarianism can secure high growth as it can mobilise everyone and everything by force, but when the very growth makes people rise, the rise threatens the exalted position of the ruling people. The people at the helm then get wary of both people and growth. The economy gets off track. This may be happening in China at the one end of the spectrum of this phenomenon. 

The democratic way of development is based on the centrality of a person. The system lets everyone do whatever worthwhile they can, and the Commonwealth is on the path of ever-going and sustainable development.
