Why Nations Fail
The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty
Book • 2012
Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson argue that the success or failure of nations is determined by their political and economic institutions.
They present a comprehensive theory based on 15 years of research, using historical examples from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, the Soviet Union, and various other regions to demonstrate how inclusive institutions foster economic growth and prosperity, while extractive institutions lead to poverty and stagnation.
The authors discuss critical questions such as China's economic growth, the future of the United States, and the most effective ways to help countries move from poverty to prosperity.
