    • 2018 September 14, Neil Gross, “Is Your Culture ‘Tight’ or ‘Loose’? The Answer Could Explain Everything”, in The New York Times[1], →ISSN:
      Do ideals, symbols and beliefs lead people to act as they do? Or are the wellsprings of action and the drivers of history less ethereal: money, fear, the thirst for power, circumstance and opportunity, with culture as an afterthought?
