However much we may deplore the lack

of

democratic freedoms

.in

authoritarian regimes,

we

should

not

believe that they have

no interest

whatever in the heal.th and well-being of their .

people.

They

have their

own

interest,

including

the

desire for industrial and military power,. jn their

people

when they lack a strong sense of

accountability to them. Ordinary people do not

always create their own capabiHties, and other do

not create
