>real possibility of change Maybe, but I doubt it. The problem is that Latin American societies, and to a lesser extent Southern European countries, are fundamentally lower trust societies than northern European ones, and especially the Anglo-sphere. While there is possibility of change, it will be a slow, hard process. (For a historical example of the difference, compare the development of Japan, a high trust society, with that of China, which is lower trust.)
