it's not necessarily about who has more it's probably about who has enough freedoms of all kinds

and we have a situation where political freedoms a shrinking every where with different speeds and from different starting points, economic freedoms are moving in different directions all over the world even inside big countries.

without a very complex model of all of it it's nearly impossible to tell what combination is the most favorable to a particular kind of innovation(for example face recognition might be a lot harder to innovate in a country with great political freedoms regardless of economic freedoms).
