Regarding the menu of developmental paths for countries, I don’t think they truly have options to choose from. Each model on the menu draws inspiration from a certain reference, but their success was largely due to a conducive cultural environment in those countries. State capitalism thrived in China, for example, because of specific Confucian values – such as obedience and acceptance of a guiding state. I believe that governments should accelerate the path most aligned with our own cultural context. Never bet against culture!
