…doctor's accounts of members of that culture who relied on traditional remedies instead of modern medicine. I used to be a big fan of going back to some of the old ways of primitive peoples -- until I read "Culture cult" (A must-read if you are interested in this sort of thing) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0813338638?ie=UTF8&tag=... The fact is -- it's never a simple comparison. You can pick and choose and make…
Also "The Culture Cult" by Roger Sandall. Sandall makes the case that private property rights are the "deep ditch" that separate civilization from tribes. I'd add "contract law" to that, as private property rests on being…
…better than other things. Stuff like private property rights, for instance. Perhaps "right" is the wrong word, perhaps it should be "effective". Whatever. For an interesting read along these lines, try "Culture Cult" -- excellent book.

……比其他东西更好。比如私有产权之类的东西。也许“权利（right）”这个词不太恰当，也许应该叫“有效（effective）”。无所谓了。想读一本这方面很有意思的书，可以试试《Culture Cult》——一本好书。

切……文化（Culture）= 邪教（Cult）。真深刻啊。感兴趣的话不如去读布鲁诺·拉图尔（Bruno Latour），他的论述要细腻得多。讲的是你如何与自身文化的各种特征组合起来去理解这个世界。人们构建出自己弗兰肯斯坦式的……
