Efficient to what end? The whole purpose of representative democracy is that we disagree on what we are trying to achieve, but still need to have a somewhat coherent plan. Autocracies are "efficient" only in the sense that they skip a bulk of the work.

That's the theory.
But at least in the economic sphere, it seems that democracy doesn't have that much power, capitalism seems to call most of the shots.
At least with autocracy, there's more unity, so there's somewhat bigger chance to restrain capitalism.

to restrain capitalism in favour of what/whom? if you leave out democracy, the government no longer works for you, it becomes a power acting in its own interest just like the capitalists.
