That's bollocks. There are many post communist countries which have a strong cultural work ethic. Try making that allegation to the Polish and see how far you get.
- muyuu 13y agoYugoslavia was a paternalist state since pre-Union times. Paternalism lasted in Poland less than 30 years, until the shortage economy kicked in and then the people's republic collapsed. It can take longer than 1 generation to destroy a country's work ethic. Work ethic is shaped by social and economic factors rather than some ethereal work culture independent of them. Social and economic systems do in fact shape culture to an important extent.
