i don't know how it could be proven empirically, but it does make some sense. *reminder, my view of the world is that man is in perpetual conflict* societies that promote and encourage competition (conflict) do generally achieve greater achievements within their culture and that could potentially spill over into the relations with neighboring cultures.

interesting. that really is the argument of capitalism vs. socialism.
