Description
What drives economic prosperity and poverty? Is it climate, geography, culture, or something more fundamental to a country's institutions?
Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson argue that the answer lies in the policies dictated by a nation's governing institutions. Without effective governance, economies struggle to grow. The authors explore this idea through a selection of historical and contemporary examples, from ancient Rome to modern China.
By examining these cases, Acemoglu and Robinson shed new light on some of the world's most pressing economic questions: how long can China sustain its rapid growth? Will the US remain a global power in the decades to come? And what is the best way to lift millions out of poverty?
