5. It is particularly interesting to see the importance of trust in economic growth of societies. Societies that are strongly family-based and do not trust those outside the family often encounter severe limits to their economic growth. See Francis Fukiyama. Trust: The Social Virtues and the Creation of Prosperity (Free Press 1996).
