Description
World-renowned economist Mancur Olson explores how governments can play an essential role in the development of markets. He argues that reliable enforcement of private contracts and protection of individual rights to property depend on governments strong enough not to undermine them.
Olson's work, "Power and Prosperity", examines the relationship between government style and economic performance. His research provides a framework for understanding market growth and its relevance to the Asian financial crisis and its aftermath.
This book offers valuable insights into the role of governments in shaping market economies and generating continually increasing incomes. A key contribution to the field of economics, "Power and Prosperity" is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in economic growth and development.
