The article explores how democracy and law and order impact economic growth. It looks at changes in democracy levels and the rule of law in different countries. The researchers suggest that in countries with strong law and order, democracy can boost economic growth. But in places with weak law and order, democracy might harm growth. They also find that if democracy emerges in a country with poor law and order, it can lead to more corruption and a weaker economy. The study presents some evidence to support these ideas, but the results are not always consistent.
