Review title: economics as cultural anthropology
Product review: Reviews of Fukuyama's book Trust tend to be by those who read it for the political and economic insights. Since I have lived in Asia and Africa, what interested me was the insight on how lines of trust between human beings are seen by different cultures.Reading this book explains why Americans should hesitate to invest in China (they only really trust those in their own families). It explains why Japanese trust their companies not to be fired. And it explains why American conservatives favor local and private solutions to problems rather than government.Businessmen and others who assume all people think like Americans might benefit from reading this.One problem is that it is a thoughtful book, but not a book that is easy to read.
