my thoughts are things that gorbachev is an idiot. why does he think that gorbachev was an idiot? one important reason is that gorbachev attempted to reform the soviet economy by taking his hands off th the levers that control of the soviet economy, and by doing so, he ultimately lost control and failed to execute on his objectives. china's leaders have taken a different approach. china's leaders have kept their hands on the levers that control the economy, the commanding banks, the oil firms, many large industrial firms remain state-owned into that gives a powerful leverage they can use to execute on the development objectives and management of the economic cycle. on the development objectives, china's leaders can direct state banks and state firms to acquire technologies and put those technologies to work at enormous scale in the chinese economy bringing them closer to the frontier. on management of the economic cycle, the leaders can direct the state sector to hold onto their workers. the state sector is big and inefficient. it's a powerful tool that can be used to manage the e
