Recommended: Culture Still Matters

Victor David Hanson has another of his insightful commentaries posted, this one called Culture Still Matters. It is indeed culture, not religion nor race nor geographic location, that determines a society's success or failure, prosperity or poverty. And cultural habits are very hard to change. And when they do change they generally take generations to change or evolve. Worth remembering when Washington naively proposes to spend billions of our money to "nation build" in some remote part of the world.
