It is changing, and now even China  may head at a different direction. Who
knows. But at least, the ideology worked well for a quite long time in
ancient China.

The point is that while people were testing or arguing what would be a
better solution to the problems, Pound (might believe he) found a convinced
solution.

Note that in history, China never had the "money" problem or usury, yet the
economics was the surprisingly strong. For Pound, Confucian ideology gets
rid of usury at the first place.

Let me know.
