The book examines the influence of culture on economic development. The presentation is built on the basis of the concept of "cultural capital" introduced by the author and the typology of cultures proposed by him and his colleagues, allowing on the basis of 25 factors to determine how high the level of cultural capital is in a particular culture. The presence or absence of cultural capital determines, creates this or that culture favorable conditions for economic development and social progress, or, conversely, prevents them.
The author analyzes in detail three large cultures with the highest level of cultural capital - Jewish, Confucian and Protestant, as well as a number of relatively lower and influential ethno -religious groups, which nevertheless make a significant contribution to human progress. At the same time, considerable attention is paid to the analysis of the social and economic problems of countries belonging to other cultural areas such as Catholic countries (especially Latin America) and the Islamic world. The author shows that both success and failures of different countries are largely determined by values, beliefs and attitudes, due to the characteristics of the country"s culture and religion, which historically determined the foundation of this culture.
Based on the analysis, the author formulates a number of proposals addressed to the governments of developed and developing countries, international organizations, non -governmental organizations, public and religious associations, media and business. The implementation of these proposals would begin to begin the process of cultural transformation in developing countries, the final result of which would be the faster movement of these countries to economic prosperity, democracy and social equality
