Hello Everyone, I just have a simple question and I need public's opinion:)))!!!?

Question

Where can we find evidence to support the premise of the “Dictator’s Dilemma,” which suggests governments that try to squelch new information technologies to protect their monopoly on power do so at the peril of economic growth?

Answer 1

ok

Answer 2

The question answers itself. Just reason it out and elaborate what that last line would mean. Think about it. What has been one of the largest reasons for economic growth the past century? The advancement of technology. Once we passed the industrial revolution, we began to be more technologically advanced. How did that effect economic growth? Think back to 80 years ago? Has the standard of living become better, say, in the US? Now think about Cuba, and the lack of free enterprise, new ideas for technology, and lack of capitalism? How has the economic growth faired under a dictatorship in Cuba?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Wouldn't we all like to know ;)
If the government squeclches new information technologies to protect their monopoly on power, don't you think they'd be smart enough to "squelch" the evidence?

Answer 5

Hmm, I am taking a US History AP class, and I thought this might help. You could use the following information and use rhetorical negation...:

In the 1930s, as America's economy was suffering through the Great Depression, Adolf Hitler was on the rise in Germany. His Nazi regime embraced old and especially new technologies, such as the new radio, in order to spread his propaganda. Not only did he manufacture insanely cheap radios to get everyone to buy one, but to many he seemed to have saved Germany's economy from the depression too.

Answer 6

The closest thing the Internet has to a governing body is ICANN (the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). A recent report for the organization claims it should "explore the private international organization model" with the same kind of immunity from national laws that the International Red Cross and the International Olympic Committee have enjoyed for decades. The hitch is, Ambassador David A. Gross, from the U.S. Department of State, said that the US would find any proposal which did not have a role for any governments akin to that which the US currently plays as "very unsatisfactory".

Answer 7

OK Korea but what about little ol Iraq and Saddam insane. When we removed him we found that maybe just maybe he had to be that way to rule. There are allot of examples and the oldest civilized nations of the world have stories to tell.

Answer 8

Just take a look at the north Korea, they actually don't have any economic growth at all, people are starving, but the state
won't renounce on atomic bomb !

Answer 9

Well, first off, common sense.

Secondly, you can check Google Scholar for papers on the subject.
