| Summary: | The hypothesis is advanced that in the nations freed since World War II, the equalitarian element in modern democracy will seriously impede the economic growth which is a necessary though not sufficient condition for a stable democracy. The equality ideal in its matured form calls for redistributive measures and a welfare state, which the economic resources of the new nations at this point in their development cannot support. The result is likely to be regimentation now and loss of democracy for the foreseeable future. |
