Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
With his meticulous observation, Fukuyama analyzes the cultural traditions and economic characteristics of the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Korea, and the Chinese. He examines the role of social trust in the economic life of each country in detail. Readers can clearly understand the true importance of culture to economic development. Economic behavior is a vital part of social life. It is linked together by various customs, rules, moral obligations, and other habits to shape society. This book will prove that the prosperity and competitiveness of a country are determined by a universal cultural characteristic, that is, the inherent level of trust in society itself. For those who want to understand the economy and can appreciate that the economy is part of a larger social culture, this book provides a new direction for economic research.
