*** Accountability[^1] leads to a better protection of individual rights and civic liberties Because in [[DÉMOCRATIE|democracy]], governments are held accountable so they don't want to transgress liberties of the citizens. Economic freedom : - the right to own property[^2] - right to enter or quit a job - accept or refuse a transaction - right to choose how to spend an income Some [[État|states]] protect economic freedom better than other : France protects it better than China example of not protecting economic freedom : the Great Leap Forward : [[Mao Zedong]] decided to collect food created by the peasants to give it to the industrial workers, and a part of the food was left in the collective farm -> but the peasants couldn't consumed it directly It's a situation impossible in democratic regime Economic freedom is a determinant to [[croissance économique|economic growth]] because without property rights, there would be no incentives to produce more ## Liens ``` dataview TABLE length(file.outlinks) AS "Liens sortants", length(file.inlinks) AS "Liens entrants" WHERE file.path = this.file.path ``` [^1]: [[Democratic accountability doesn't make representatives better than dictators on growth level]] [^2]: [[droits de propriété]]
