Oliver Kamm is discussing the real root causes of terrorism. Countries with more freedom tend to produce fewer terrorists. Of course, the generation that came of ages in the 1960s might be a counter-example. My guess would be that it has more to do with pride, but I'm not an economist and I haven't done a study.

Lucifer was a Son of the Morning, but was cast out of heaven because he rebelled against God. Some think that heaven is a tyranny, so this story would support that view of terrorism's roots. Others believe that there are eternal laws for ultimate happiness and that thinking you can overthrow them and make yourself the ruler is where crime and terrorism come from.
