but it leads to another point. The economically fastest growing country in the world today is "mostly unfree."

It is the delta that matters. It took a huge amount of suppression to keep China, a country with everything but economic freedom going for it, down. A little freedom goes a long way in a place with people and a culture like China has.

I know nothing about Pakistan but from my experience living in Honduras, I would say that they Honduran government is far bigger relate to their economy than that of the USA. In Honduras the Government provides the electricity, the phone service and the water. It also provides medical care but most people with a little money to private providers. I worked for technical mission of Kansas state university in the Honduran institute of Agriculture and so I can tell you that they mess extensively with agriculture. Also imports where highly taxed and my wife a native Honduran would bribe that customer people.
