This book examines why multicultural societies struggle to stay united. It argues that human trust and cooperation evolved in small, familiar groups, not in large, diverse populations. When societies grow beyond that natural scale, they must replace informal trust with formal rules, bureaucracy, and government control. The author shows that without shared cultural foundations, diversity doesn't create strength—it creates dependence on constant management and enforcement. The book explores the trade-offs between scale, variation, and social cohesion, challenging the idea that all cultures can easily blend together under one system.
