About the book
Acemoglu and Robinson challenge conventional narratives about economic development, arguing that the wealth or poverty of nations results from political and economic institutions, not geography or culture. Through analyses of historical and contemporary cases, they show how extractive institutions perpetuate backwardness while inclusive institutions drive prosperity.
An ambitious work that rewrites our understanding of global development and offers tools for understanding why some countries prosper while others stagnate.
