West Berlin was a different currency zone

and they didn't want the west german currency becoming dominant in Berlin

most ethnic-nationalist groups rallied around Christianity

like?

every interwar nationalist group

Iron Guard, Spanish Falange, Rexist Party, Polish Falange, Irish Republicans, etc.

the notion that Christianity made people open to foreigners is modern and a result of secular humanism

the paper tried to claim that the specific policies of Christianity 'caused a spike in individualism

but its mostly observed in the north

yea that makes more sense

however there are plently of prominent examples of the contrary with the Sobornosti in Russia and the Slava in Serbia

Christianity is inherently collectivist

yeah, the effects can be better represented in the north west specifically with northern France, Germany, Nordic countries and Britain

those countries happen to be relatively irrelegious

survive the jives's post critiques the premise of the paper

its referring to the evolution of these societies into more individualistic ones

i think this is better explained by policies of liberalism were held by the countries that underwent the protestant reformations but i can understand how the adoption of more nuclear families within the late middle ages couldve lead to that

i think that it has more to do with the devolution of feudalism into capitalism

Capitalism is a byproduct, not the reason i would say

as well as secular enlightenment ideas contrary to traditional christian thought

yeah you can say it's more of a byproduct

yeah

it's not something to squint at because capitalism is inherently individualistic while feudalism is proto-corporatist in nature

wtf

`RESULTS
We test these predictions at three levels. Globally, we show that countries with longer historical exposure to the medieval Western Church or less intensive kinship (e.g., lower rates of cousin marriage) are more individualistic and independent, less conforming and obedient, and more inclined toward trust and cooperation with strangers (see figure). Focusing on Europe, where we compare regions within countries, we show that longer exposure to the Western Church is associated with less intensive kinship, greater individualism, less conformity, and more fairness and trust toward strangers. Finally, comparing only the adult children of immigrants in European countries, we show that those whose parents come from countries or ethnic groups that historically experienced more centuries under the Western Church or had less intensive kinship tend to be more individualistic, less conforming, and more inclined toward fairness and trust with strangers.`
