Why Nations Fail

Nobel Prize winners Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson present a compelling examination of why some nations thrive while others remain impoverished. This research-backed work challenges conventional explanations based on culture, geography, or climate, asserting instead that man-made political and economic institutions are the decisive factors in a nation's prosperity or failure. Through a wealth of historical evidence spanning the Roman Empire, Mayan city-states, the Koreas, the Soviet Union, and more, the authors build a new theory of political economy. *Why Nations Fail* offers profound insights into contemporary global issues, from China's economic trajectory to America's future.
