Every reader concerned with the inequalities among the world's nations will profit from this synthesis of fact and speculation. -Jerome Kagan, Professor of Psychology, Emeritus, Harvard University By making exceptional use of Inglehart's World Values Survey, Basanez has very skillfully reasoned the impact of values on development. The three cultures he outlines - honor, achievement and joy - represent Atlantic culture, East Asian culture and Latin American culture. The book shows persuasively that the three cultures bloom each in their own way, vindicating the claim that the world experiences multiple modernities. Its beauty also lies in how well Basanez exemplifies the three cultures! -Takashi Inoguchi, Professor Emeritus, University of Tokyo In this very readable book Miguel Basa?ez presents a cross-cultural world view influenced by the data analysis and interpretation of the three founding fathers of the discipline: a European management researcher, an American sociologist, and an Israeli psychologist, but this he does from his own Latin-American point of view. Compared to us he is quite original in adding to his two main axes of Power and Achievement a third axis of Joy. It is a joy to read his work. -Geert Hofstede, author of Culture's Consequences A World of Three Cultures is a book to be recommended in a time of cultural wars, because it helps the reader to give meaning to such conflicts through the use of statistical data and to give hope to global public opinion in a possible convergence scenario. -Matteo B.
