Culture Matters - Lawrence E. Harrison
- In english. First published in 2000.
Why do some cultures achieve economic success while others languish? Why do some countries develop successful democracies while others continue to undergo political upheavals? These questions and others are discussed within the wide-ranging, thought-provoking, and sometimes quite controversial essays presented here and cover a wide variety of topics, from the effect of culture on various countries throughout the world to a discussion of culture and its role in gender issues.
-> A bit too old an edition for me to get the true meaning of statistics and facts, but still quite interesting for me to "witness" how countries, area, population evolve and grow, or not, in our world, on the base of their inner beliefs and values...that is taking our values as the base for further analysis...
