Kuala Lumpur: In Southeast Asia, a region with a history of authoritarian rule, it required a seismic shift to topple Malaysia’s ruling Barisan Nasional (National Front) coalition that had been in government continuously since independence from Britain in 1957. As in Ireland, the British parliamentary tradition has had an impact and the Malaysian army has never been directly involved in politics compared with the coup d'état record of the Thai military. The defeated governing coalition could not thwart the wave of support for the multi-racial opposition alliance.

The US economy has reverted to the economic and political structure of a developing nation according to a book by Peter Temin, emeritus professor of economics at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), published in 2017. Temin who turned 80 in December, has used a 1950s era economic model developed by W. Arthur Lewis (1915-1991), the West Indian economist who won the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1979. Lewis proposed a dual economy in developing countries, with one part containing upwardly-mobile, skilled workers and the other part inhabited by subsistence workers.

On Monday Lawrence Summers, Harvard economist, former Treasury secretary and director of the National Economic Council in the first term of President Obama, in effect called President Trump's top 3 economic advisers lying fraudsters in his monthly column in The Washington Post and The Financial Times. He said their tax-cutting proposal was "a melange of ideas put forth without precision or arithmetic" and it was easy to demonstrate that the claims, including the assertion that domestic investment will be spurred by corporate tax cuts, were "some combination of ignorant, disingenuous and dishonest."  Meanwhile, William Lazonick, professor of economics, University of Massachusetts Lowell, has published a paper on the disconnect between the real American economy and what he calls "the legalized looting of the US business corporation."

The 2016 Democracy Index, published this year by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) — a sister company of the Economist — shows that almost one-half of the world's countries can be considered to be democracies of some sort, but the number of "full democracies" has fallen from 20 in 2015 to 19 in 2016. Ireland has a joint ranking of 6 while the US has been downgraded from a "full democracy" to a "flawed democracy" because of a further erosion of trust in government and elected officials there.
