Jews, Confucians, and Protestants: Cultural Capital and the End of Multiculturalism - Hardcover

by Lawrence E. Harrison (Author)

In Jews, Confucians, and Protestants: Cultural Capital and the End of Multiculturalism, Lawrence E. Harrison takes the politically incorrect stand that not all cultures are created equally. Analyzing the performance of 117 countries, grouped by predominant religion, Harrison argues for the superiority of those cultures that emphasize Jewish, Confucian, or Protestant values.
