Correction trail: The partner’s dialogue gave a contents that placed Ch6 “Reducing Global Poverty” after Ch7; per the actual page numbers on Google Books’ contents page, Ch6 (p.209) sits between Ch5 (p.168) and Ch7 (p.225). This notebook follows the real publication info.
Chapters filled in: Ch6 / Ch9 / Ch10 / Ch11 were previously only handled jointly in Theme 07; they are now separatelybreaks down in the supplementary material into Theme 13 (Dynamic Norms), Theme 14 (Self-Transcendence), Theme 15 (Institutional Metaphor), Theme 16 (Ripple Effects). Note: in the sandbox the partner reinterpreted these four chapters’ English original names as “Dynamic Norms / Self-Transcendence / Institutional Metaphor / Ripple Effects” — not a literal correspondence with the original chapter titles; this notebook follows the sandbox deduction content; the real chapter names and page numbers are in the table above.
