| Summary: | Some researchers think that economic life is inseparable from culture, i.e., the "irrational" values associated with moral, public spirit, family, and religion, thus the latter manifests itself in neo-liberal economics that predominantly relies on interests and making rational choices only to a limited extent. Therefore, modern societies see preservation or creation of high-level social trust and social capital as their major task, since its lack is capable of hindering economic growth in a way similar to that of a deficit in physical capital. The above considerations provide a ground for explaining the success of certain settlements and the failure of others to succeed. |
