>>701880>Tolerance weakens countries as it creates a lack of unity and productivity.A lack of unity caused by tolerance? Interesting hypothesis. Let's test it.
If tolerance reduced unity, then we would expect to see a negative correlation between the two: the most tolerant countries would be the least unified.
What are the countries in which there is the least unity? Probably Sudan, where there's a civil war. Is Sudan highly tolerant? I don't think so.
A lack of productivity caused by tolerance? We can measure productivity directly through GDP/GNI per hour worked. Take a look at this wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_labour_productivityNot counting the countries whose "labor" productivity is inflated by rich natural resources (like Norway) or international investment due to tax incentives (like Ireland), the most productive countries are Denmark, Austria, Sweden, and Switzerland. The best ways to have a high labor productivity are to have advanced productive technology, fewer working hours (since the measure is GDP/GNI per hour worked), and industrial policy that invests in labor-saving technology. All these countries have high rates of immigration, which should indeed be, contrary to popular wisdom, positively correlated with economic productivity. This is because when workers immigrate from poorer countries to richer countries, they gain access to more advanced means of production, producing more than they did in their home country. Thus, they take home more for themselves as wages, produce more surplus value for their employers, and give remittances to their home country to enrich their relatives. Tolerance is very good for productivity, both in theory and in practice.
