Why America? America because that’s the crux of the article. It’s specifically comparing America to Finland.
Diversity is expensive. Homogenous societies have less conflict and more cooperation than diverse one. This isn’t to say that diversity is a bad thing, but it can be an impediment to cooperation and create a lot of ‘noise’.
Finland due to its geography, weather and possibly language is far less diverse..as is Denmark. NZ is also 5 million people and more diverse than DK or Finland, for example..but it’s far less successful than the more homogenous countries.
OTOH, take Turkmenistan. 5 million..was part of red Soviet Union. Lots of oil. Borderline dictatorship. Or so they say..super isolated. Optimal and fair distribution of resources to citizens seems to be the key to prosperity and well being of nations. Equitable sharing of resources is easier in homogeneous nations.
These are my observations. They are not suggestions. What are your thoughts on the above?
