Catholicism's policy forbidding cousins to wed may have led to the distinctive characteristics of Western society As Joseph Henrich recounts in his new book, The WEIRDest People in the World, the Tajik civil war—which pitted clan against clan and, sometimes, neighbor against neighbor—resulted in a collapse of trust that made people more suspicious of nonrelatives. This trajectory is puzzling, as it contrasts sharply with political development in Western Europe. There, conflict and intergroup competition paved the way for strong and democratic states. So what accounts for the difference between these two groups?

为什么西方很奇怪

天主教禁止表亲结婚的政策可能导致了西方社会的鲜明特征,正如约瑟夫·亨里希在他的新书《世界上最奇怪的人》中所记述的那样,塔吉克内战——氏族与氏族之间,有时是邻里对邻——导致信任崩溃,使人们对非亲属更加怀疑。这一轨迹令人费解,因为它与西欧的政治发展形成鲜明对比。在那里,冲突和群体间的竞争为强大和民主的国家铺平了道路。那么是什么导致了这两组之间的差异呢?
