I thought this was interesting. Especially the sections on national work ethic, women in the workplace, and education.

The article confuses what the author likes with what succeedes economically. China is currently squeezing the flow of information on political matters, and remains the fastest-growing large economy. Britain industrialised in 1760-1830, before it reformed Parliament and before it repealed a host of restrictions on Roman Catholics. Both in Britain and the USA, Puritans with a narrow view of the world were the main promotors of the new industry.

I would like to mention another thing that keeps a nation backward and non-competitive. However, if I mention that, some bearded men with white towels on their heads may want to kill me, while at the same time chanting that they believe in peace.
