Prosperity & Harmonious Well-Being
Any country to prosper needs: stability, safety, justice and respect.
The terms above, as most of the terms, have multiple interpretations. We needed to define what each one means, in the present matter:
Stability "don't alter the rules in the middle of the game!" Stable market prices [of services, of energy and of components]. Stable customs taxes. Stable laws.
Safety doesn't have war, violence, inundations, epidemics and earthquakes.
Justice. Efficiency. Speed of judicial system. Legislation that protects against the abuse, against cartels and against vandalism.
Aristotle defined Distributive Justice: "each one according to the merit! Until here, all agree." The democratic system [not to confuse with capitalism] defines the merit: "pay what it is worth!" The socialist system defines the merit: "Wage must be condign!" The preferences for the definition of the merit are subjective, and they can be so much intuitive as rational. The judgment of the concept of the merit is extremely complex and for this reason the quibblers get to deceive the extemporaneous. ...
... The quibblers get to convince the extemporaneous that the employer can pay more than is worth. The employee should struggle to get the real value of his work.
Respect to the right of the third parties, even that ones what are not specifically protected by the law. When the society doesn't respect right of one minority, he [the society] doesn't also respect right of other minorities.
"... The violence, the oppression, the falsehood, the poverty, all of the hateful addictions and all the forms of afflictions, that degrade and sadden the present state of the society, seem they are generated by the most imperious circumstances, for inherent laws to the nature of e human and absolutely independent of all of the human regulations..." MALTHUS.
[It seems that Malthus didn't know the envy and the avarice.]
The afflictions above described by Malthus are caused by discord among the human's nature [their congenital and unalterable instincts, See Arthur Schopenhauer] and the effective [unnatural] system. The democratic principles, above described, are tuned [in harmony] with the human's nature. The human was born with his instincts and he wants to mold the environment accordingly [see Isaac Disraeli]. The deviation of this model causes stress, indisposition and revolt. The economical freedom that Mikhail Friedman preaches [values gap], avoids the conflicts between the human's nature and the environment. The socialist system lifts the question; "who has more dignity" and that is subjective question and it generate conflict, hatreds, lethargy and dissatisfaction. It is difficult to criticize the democratic system; "who cut more cane earns more", socialists combat democratic principles with artifices and sophisms.
Conclusion. The democracy generates respected environment and this produces
prosperity, peace and well to be of the human being.
