A tale of two cycles

To summarize Rohit's argument , existence of policy think tanks promotes a robust democratic culture,"Au contraire",  DataNazi says , "As long as democracy is healthy policy tanks will be established sooner or later".
I think both are correct, and this highlights the dilemma of democracy. Democracy as a process has significant feedback. With the positive feedback, and by positive I refer to public policy outlook, it is possible to sustain a system which works for the common good. In contrast is the Indian system which works for common misery and impoverishment. Let's us call later 'the vicious cycle' and former 'the virtuous cycle'. Hence it is my opinion that our efforts as far as political debate goes must be to explore the inflection point at which it is possible to transition from vicious cycle to that of virtuous one.
