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.
