Should Asians demand both entrepreneurship and human rights?

Local entrepreneurs, essential for creation of sustainable broad-based wealth, can provide countervailing power against local human rights violators. Our statistically testable hypothesis is that joint advocacy by promoters of entrepreneurship on the right side of the political spectrum and human rights advocates on the left side will not be at cross-purposes. Analysis of eight variables dealing with governance, corruption, entrepreneurship activity, human rights, capital markets and economic freedom finds significant correlations between left and right side variables. Since the left and the right can agree on 40 out of 50 economic freedom items, Asians should demand both, even in China.
