The Narrow Corridor
States, Societies, and the Fate of Liberty
Book • 2019
In 'The Narrow Corridor', Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson explore the delicate balance between state capacity and societal power, arguing that this balance is crucial for achieving liberty and prosperity.
They introduce the concept of the 'Shackled Leviathan', where a strong state is kept in check by an active society, preventing both despotism and statelessness.
The book uses historical examples to illustrate how this balance can lead to successful governance and economic growth.
