Is there a way out? An economist would respond, “Yes, get the incentives right.” My proposal is to create the mechanism which would transmit the pain of terrorism to the leaders.

We need to grow the middle class, in order to hold the politicians accountable. It's the middle class which is not so elite as to be removed from hardship, and yet not so weak so as to be intimidated by the establishment. When the problem is dysfunctional democracy, the answer is to make it functional by creating the basic architecture for democratic accountability, and the middle class is the basis for that.
