>nation conducts religiously motivated expansionism
"where's the prosperity"
That is literally not my point
Response to?
No, lol.
That religious fundamentalist nations are less prosperous than pluralistic nations
How so?
Oh.
I agree.
The happiest and most prosperous nations are pluralist
That is based on progressive standards
"happiest"
china is so unprosperous guys, the iron fist of their one party system and lack of religious diversity is really tearing up the place
PCPPP and UNQOLI
Nah, there are objective factors that define happiness.
they're so unhappy with how successful they are I bet
If you read "Why Nations Fail", you'll see why pluralistic nations are more economically prosperous.
yes, 40% suicide rate in athiest LGBTQ scum are happy and prosperous
Now you're taking her idea too far.
@Deleted User Based on progressive standards, Progressive nations are doing better than everyone else
No, have you read the book?
It's not based on progressive standards.
So PCPPP is a progressive standard?
^
Or do you not know what that means
How is "economically prosperous" based on progressive standards?
Would love to know
In WNF, they explain that it's hardly because of culture or geography that nations fail, but because of their political institutions.
like how kicking out nonwhites from a nation would be "a massive damage to population and birth rates", therefore making your nation "economically inprosperous"
Lol
Ok let’s hear it
What do you envision would happen if you kicked out non whites
do you want FBI crime statistics or what
No, that book does not talk about that.
That’s their point though, it’s what they’re arguing
In the book, one example made is N. Korea and S. Korea, where the former is worlds apart from its counterpart. N.Korea is an isolationist homogenous nation because of famine, political repression and changing economic institutions. Whereas in S. Korea, they've made a society that supplied incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus caused was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to its citizens.
Hence why a mix of command and free market is good
"what would happen if you kicked all the muslims out"
hungary: lowest islamic population.... lowest islamic terror attacks
germany: welcomes increasing islamic population, rape epidemic and needs concrete barriers so trucks don't drive over christmas markets

The state creates incentives for people to invest/innovate, this is supplied through funding of education and infrastructure, and the state is held accountable by its citizens rather than a monopoly that is handled by a small elite. People in politics must establish institutions and laws which work for the majority of people. I agree with some of this.
It’s always been the case
