Let's check in with Sweden, the Control Group. How are they doing? Image
(here's per capita, in case you care about that) Image
Meanwhile, fewer than 8% of people in Stockholm have been infected, so herd immunity is not close to being achieved.

One of the Chinese Communist Party's main justifications for authoritarianism is the idea that Chinese people, due to their unique culture and history, need to be tightly controlled in order for their society to flourish.

Hong Kong and Taiwan both disprove that argument.
CCP-supporting people that I know all tend to make this argument. "You just don't understand what Chinese people are like," they tell me. "They're so badly behaved. They need control."

Jackie Chan even said this, a decade ago:

But Hong Kong and Taiwan offer living proof that this argument is bullshit. Although they have very different systems, both are liberal societies where people are free to express themselves, and are not subject to tight government control.

And both are prosperous and successful.

My instinctive answer to this question is that in a world that didn't afford people the opportunity to amass great fortunes through commerce, ambitious status-seeking people who are very skilled at managing large organizations would become WARLORDS instead of billionaires.
Of course, there might be a third alternative, such as 1980s Japanese-style corporatist managerialism, where ambitious super-managers simply rule over corporate fiefdoms instead of amassing great fortunes.

The question of what to do with ambitious super-managers is not easy!
And it's also worth mentioning another possibility: That in the online age, control of physical resources simply won't be as important a status symbol as before, and the ambitious super-managers will want to be online influencers instead of billionaires or warlords...
