The problem with democracy is that a leader is primarily motivated to do what will keep their job in 4 years' time, rather than plan ahead for the long-term health of the country.

A Theory of -
'A dynamic model of non-democratic
politics, in which repression and bad decision-making are self-reinforcing - Repressions reduce the threat, yet raise the stakes for the dictator; with higher stakes, the dictator puts
