Tags: Cultural, Elite, EuropeEven in a society as tightly controlled as Singapore's, the market creates certain forces which perhaps in the long run may lead to democracy.
Tags: Democracy, May, SocietyIf you say simply that pressures toward democracy are created by the market, I would say yes.
Tags: Democracy, Simply, YesIn a market economy, however, the individual has some possibility of escaping from the power of the state.
Tags: Individual, Power, StateSome people think that as the Chinese economy becomes more and more capitalistic it will inevitably become more democratic.
Tags: Become, Democratic, EconomyThe negative side to globalization is that it wipes out entire economic systems and in doing so wipes out the accompanying culture.
Tags: Culture, Economic, NegativeThe problem with liberal Protestantism in America is not that it has not been orthodox enough, but that it has lost a lot of religious substance.
Tags: America, Enough, LostWe also have a cultural phenomenon: the emergence of a global culture, or of cultural globalization.

Tags: Hand, Mistake, ReligionI'm sure Putnam is right that there's been a decline in certain kinds of organizations like bowling leagues. But people participate in communities in other ways.
Tags: Kinds, Sure, WaysIt has been true in Western societies and it seems to be true elsewhere that you do not find democratic systems apart from capitalism, or apart from a market economy, if you prefer that term.

Tags: Call, Christian, UnderstandOur institute's agenda is relatively simple. We study the relationship between social-economic change and culture. By culture we mean beliefs, values and lifestyles. We cover a broad range of issues, and we work very internationally.
Tags: Change, Simple, WorkSo I think one can say on empirical grounds - not because of some philosophical principle - that you can't have democracy unless you have a market economy.
Tags: Democracy, Economy, UnlessSome people seem to gravitate from one fundamentalism to another, from some kind of secular fundamentalism into a religious fundamentalism or the other way around, which is not very helpful.
