Description
Why Nations Fail: Why Some Nations Are More Prosperous Than Others Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson present a compelling new theory on why some nations are more prosperous than others, arguing that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but rather due to the quality of institutions. The authors draw on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome to modern-day China, to illustrate their theory. They show that sound institutions are essential for virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace, and that these institutions allow people to know that their hard work can lead to financial rewards and stability. Based on fifteen years of research, Acemoglu and Robinson provide a powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty, blending economics, politics, history and current affairs.
