Why are people in the Global South less virtuous?

• fennecfoxen 6y ago
  It's not a question of the virtue existing. It's a question of whether it's selected for by a tradition of governance which elevates those people to public office, and whether or not a nascent tradition is liable to be torn down by the local strongmen instead, as a threat. It is a question of institutions, who runs them, and how they perpetuate themselves.

    Where do pro-virtuous traditions come from, and why are they absent from the Global South?
