Whereas China has the most competitive companies doing robust free trade in renewable energy, America sells oil and gas at gunpoint, blowing up Europe for trading with the Russians and besieging competitors like Iran and Venezuela. America bans its own people from importing.

The rule of law – the idea that legal rules apply to everyone equally, regardless of wealth or political connections − is essential for a thriving economy. Yet globally the respect for the rule of law is slipping, and the U.S. is slipping with it. According to annual rankings.
