I agree it's sad that I'm the only one finding your stuff interesting, but have you noticed these charts almost always have US in the middle. The New Middle Kin

I agree it's sad that I'm the only one finding your stuff interesting, but have you noticed these charts almost always have US in the middle. The New Middle Kingdom or what?!! Those high trust barbarians (of New Old Rome!!).. Would you prefer the drained brains from countries where social competence has been depressed due to high trust coddling, or from countries with highly evolved, dense ecologies of social predators? One of them is a learning experience!

    There doesn't seem to be much signal on Hofstede's 6 axes, but Jacobs' Guardian/Commercial split does seem pretty strong on the CN/SE sides in that study? (as to francophones, my limited experience is that the "grand patron == chef" dirigiste style ought to play better with confucians than the scandinavians?)

      Hmmm might need to delve/dive into that split (considering guardian vs commercial in terms of trust vs productivity) To be fair to Hofstede, maybe the problem could be fixed with some rudimentary PCA, but you might just get back the usual trust vs productivity scatterplot (like MBTI vs Big5 for "a society") that you found interesting.. japanese/swedish cultures are reportedly closest, might well be worth looking at M&A events in the 1980s. don't know whether karoshi is just symptomatic of a particular tricky retrovirus hidden in the cultural DNA.
