4. Inclusive economic institutions and economic policies as a determinant of economic growth (UK, USA, Japan, West Europe).
5. Selective economic institutions and economic policies as a determinant of nation’s decline and failure (Mexico, USSR, China).
6. Culture and civilization: some paradigmatic case in Latin America.
7. Economic development in Asia: the cases of China, Japan and south Korea.
8. Bourgeois virtues: W. Sombart and D. McCloskey.
