I think the column would have been clearer if he hadn't gone into the stratification going in our culture, but this is certainly true. Global inequality widens as some nations with certain cultural traits prosper and others with other traits don't. Not. I see further on that CB brings forward the objection that nations and "cultures" are not necessarily isomorphic, a distinction Brooks should certainly have made. But he also needed to make clearer the serious debate as to what "culture" is and just how strong an explanatory factor it is. It's fair to take a side in the debate; not fair to ignore one of the central features of a scholarly area. Not even wise.
