Two gut reactions, without meaning to disagree with you in a significant way:
- "less favorable entrepreneurial framework" can probably be viewed as the direct cause of "harder access to capital". Which means the four surprises in your list are probably better thought of as three or fewer surprises.
- A well-educated populace probably does result in more red tape compared to a poorly-educated populace. My argument for this is: a smart populace is able to handle the load of red tape, whereas a stupid populace encumbered with a comparable degree of red tape would just see their systems fail, and be replaced by less complex systems, when nobody could make things work.

Again, I think your general point is a good one.
