INDULGENCE/RESTRAINT: Indulgence stands for a tendency to allow relatively free gratifications of basic and natural human desires related to enjoying life and having fun, whereas restraint reflects a conviction that such gratification needs to be curbed and regularised by strict social norms.
Based on statistical analysis of a large body of data, he suggests that culture may be understood according to six principal components: "power distance", "individualism x collectivism", "masculinity x femininity", "avoidance of uncertainty", "long-term orientation" and "indulgence x restraint". But I understand studies like this were made to moralize the late-last centuries wealth extraction of poorer ‘developing’ countries (one could list the infamous activities that the sponsor and ‘exemplar’ IBM has been involved in); really some of the least ‘objective’ ‘uncertainty-avoidant’ feel-good schemes for a (dumb or cynical section) of the managerial/landlord (of both houses and land tracts) class.What is it that continues to drive people apart when cooperation is so clearly in everyone's interest? It looks at difference practice dimensions that can be identified in different organizational cultures.

This book is interesting, but the author tends to essentialize and naturalize cultural and national identity, ignoring the fact that there are usually more differences within groups than there are between them.
Just a heads up: the book spends a great deal of space simply describing their methodology in gathering and interpreting data.

POWER DISTANCE: The extent to which the less powerful members of institutions and organisations within a country expect and accept that power is distributed unequally.Hofstede also uses these dimensions of culture to 'classify' organizations to different types according to where they fall on the Power Distance vs.
The fifth dimension which was later added based on results from the Far East and Asia - Long- versus Short-Term Orientation - is not discussed in this book.They then say those countries which did improve did so because of their cultural values, not foreign aid. Then the ‘enlightened rule’ trope again: ''the development of poor countries is an uphill struggle because population growth often swallows any increase in resources'' that again is not strictly true when China/East Asia is a positive case nor does the author have the authority to impose population reductions in a colonial fashion. For example, he equated having a detached house with individualism, yet earlier he showed that individualism correlated with wealth. On the basis of such a revised declaration, victims of political and religious fundamentalisms can be protected; this protection should prevail over national sovereignty'', followed by the acknowledgement of historical record ''The nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth century was the age of Europe; Europeans and their offspring overseas were the “lords of humankind,” who colonized most of the outside world while wealth owed from outside to inside'' but cannot seem to see the continuation of the practice so resort to vulgar opinion ''freedom from want became recognized as a fundamental human right, and around 1950 programs of development aid were gradually started, financed by the rich countries and with the poor ones as receivers. For those scientists that previously supported Hofstede's work are unlikely to publicly change their view, which creates a problem for later readers.
