Tudor England and the Parish based system to care for the aged.  British and Dutch elites  were better and more competent in the great struggles between the powers.  Partly this is because the method for selecting elites was more robust than France and Spain where birth was so important.  We look at studies done of village life in England, hard facts, that indicate a surprisingly high level of trust in local institutions and confidence in the future.  Already at this time life for the common people was very different for the British and Dutch than for the rest of Europe.  We explore some of the tensions between freedom and responsibility and predictability within a nuclear family context.
