The Rule of Law Is Good for Economic Growth

The rule of law is good for economic growth as well as just good, writes Andrew Keen. The problem is getting the state not to abuse its power and constrain it in a way that respects private property rights says Keen. It's the property rights, more than human rights, that are fundamental neither the french civil law system, originating in the roman legal tradition, nor the german and scandinavian legal systems were as good,. To say nothing of non western systems of law.
