Recorded sources
4 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that individualism correlates with higher economic development?

Yes. Cross-country analysis reports individualism is independently associated with per capita income after extensive controls, and a century of French regional data finds GDP per capita predicts higher individualism. Other studies link individualism to outcomes that vary with development level, offering only indirect support.
