Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu & James A. Robinson
$20.00
Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson is a major work of political economy examining why some nations become prosperous while others remain poor.
The authors argue that long-term prosperity depends chiefly on the quality of political and economic institutions. Drawing on examples spanning colonialism, revolutions, industrialisation, development and modern states, they contrast inclusive institutions that encourage participation and innovation with extractive institutions that concentrate power and wealth.
