| Abstract: | It is asked, how and why distant political and economic history shape the functioning of current institutions (henceforth as: insts). It is argued that individual values and convictions about the scope of application of norms of good conduct provide the "missing link". Based on evidence there are two main findings: 1. Individual values consistent with generalized morality (here as: gen-mrlty.) are widespread in societies, 2. Well-functioning insts. are often found in countries or regions where individual values are consistent with gen-mrlty. |
