    Thanks, Joe. Interesting and useful way to reconcile Huntington and Fukuyama. Lawry

    It's the book with the more illustrious slate of authors of the two
    (including Fukuyama,Sachs, Inglehart, Edgerton and Landes). It includes sections on Culture and Economic Development, culture and Political Development, The Anthropological Debate, Culture and Gender, Culture and American Minorities, The Asian Crisis, and Promoting Change. It's priced pretty reasonably, too. I see nothing , however, to cause me to think that Huntington has repudiated his earlier views. The best way I've found to reconcile him with Fukuyama is to say that, in the short-to-mid-term, Huntington most certainly applies, but in the long-term, Fukuyama will prove to ultimately be correct.
