it really does matter

For those who wonder why some people are doing well and some aren't, this is a good book. Particularly excellent is the section on why Africa is such a mess by Daniel Entounga-Manguelle.


Culture Matters

This book was well put together. it reflects the work of a number of intellectual authors and gives multiple opinions on this huge subject of culture in politics and world order.


Food for Thought

An interesting group of essays - well at least most of them are interesting - exploring how culture does seem to matter as to the success of a society and/or groups within a society. Lots of food for thought here. Some of it politically incorrect.

An important look at why some countries and ethnic groups are better off than others, and the role that cultural values play in the shaping of nations' and peoples' political, economic and social performance Prominent scholars and journalists ponder the question of why, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, the world is more divided than ever between the rich and the poor, between those living in freedom and those under oppression.
