> more able to trust commitment over time Not only are wealthier people better placed to trust (or risk) commitment, but the world map in the article is hilariously similar to a map of high-trust societies. If someone in Sweden is more willing to wait for money than someone in Russia, does that mean they're actually higher patience? Intuitively, I think it just means they have a higher expectation of actually getting paid in a year. (And if Nicaragua is bright red, how much of that is that people aren't even sure what address they'll have in a year, so even if they trust you they know they won't get paid?)
