West had representative governments, even in ancient times, but there are no such examples in east. Why is democracy inherently a western concept?
Why do dictatorships that are tax havens (such as the ones that used to exist in North Africa and the Middle East) fall to civil wars and revolutions, but the ones that are democracies (like Switzerland and Ireland) seem to continue on just fine? Is it connected to how they approach their existence as a tax haven, or is there no connection there at all?
