This is one of the most important works for understanding what successful groups and societies have in common, and what is holding back many others back. The author shows how many well-intentioned ideas aimed at ameliorating developmental inequalities have failed due to the error of assuming that because all people are inherently equal in human worth, that therefore all cultures (which are simply shared ways of people doing things, not to be confused with anything intrinsic about people themselves) are of equal worth. The author demonstrates the overwhelming role of cultural values in setting people groups up for either successful or failed outcomes, and provides clear guidance for how to help all groups improve their outcomes over the course of a generation.
