> high trust societies are homogeneous societies. that is: ethnocentric societies homogeneous societies are not necessarily ethnocentric societies at all in fact i would argue the opposite is more often true, because in order to develop a strong sense of ethnocentrism you need to be constantly exposed to outsiders that are unlike your group. sweden was one of the most homogeneous countries in europe and its also the least ethnocentric in europe > history wise the european upper class tended to practice cousin marriage often and preferred third or fourth cousin marriage. yeah because they needed to conserve dynastic lands oh that reminds me, you ever wonder why women can inherit titles in europe but this never happens in nonwhite societies? this is because monogamy causes small dynasties, so eventually female inheritance had to be permitted when no male heir was present so that the title could be passed on legitimately to a new heir of a different dynasty
