British playwright Tom Stoppard once joked that if voting mattered, ‘they’ wouldn’t allow it, which was funny because of the truth it contained. But most of our readers did not share Stoppard’s cynicism when we asked them last week if democracy was a luxury or a driver of growth. We are pleased to report that most said democracy promotes economic growth, which most studies seem to agree with.
