Once China's leaders focus on problems and are determined to take action, they usually manage to resolve them — sometimes with brutal efficiency," a Goldman Sachs report concluded. "You may call that a virtue of authoritarian government."

Yeah and the Nazi death camps were brutally efficient as well. I guess the camps were a result of the virtue of Hitler's authority.

Intellectuals ( often liberals ) have a serious deficiency of morality. Words and thoughts are tethered to meanings like thread to a kite.

Maybe I shouldn't expect much from a Goldman Sachs report. Afterall, They are are closely associated with Robert Rubin. May he be recognized as the second biggest failure of Clinton's Cabinet, right behind Janet Reno.
