http://democraciaentucara.blogspot.com/IS CAPITALISM HERE TO STAY? DOES IT DEPEND ON LIBERALISM?One of today’s signs of history tells that capitalism does not depend on political liberalism. Peter Sloterdijk (definitely not one of us, but also not a complete idiot) remarked that if there is a person to whom they will build monuments hundred years from now, it is Lee Quan Yew, the Singapore leader who invented and realized the so-called “capitalism with Asian values.” The virus of this authoritarian capitalism is slowly but surely spreading around the globe. Before setting in motion his reforms, Deng Hsiao-Ping visited Singapore and expressly praised it as a model all of China should follow. This change has a world-historical meaning: till now, capitalism seems inextricably linked with democracy – there were, of course, from time to time recourses to direct dictatorship, but, after a decade or two, democracy again imposed itself (recall just the cases of South Korea and Chile). Now, however, the link between democracy and capitalism is broken.
