RE: Adsactly Education - The Marriage of Democracy and Capitalism
Actually you could have one without the other. Society has been constantly evolving throughout time, so does these concepts. A good example would be Southeast Asian countries.
The economic system and the political system would always have an influence on the other. It would just depend on the situation and how the power struggle plays out inside the society.
SE Asia is an interesting area in re: Democracy and Capitalism. Vietnam in particular is considered by some to be State Capitalism, but worker's councils give it at least some aspects of democracy. I think it is too early to tell in China and Vietnam whether one can exist long term with out the other. It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.
Yes exactly. Like how China is considered as a socialist country but they're more capitalist in actuality. It's not black or white when it comes to the region, its more complex which makes it really interesting. This is one of my favorite courses(SEA politics) during my undergrad years.
