- Summary:
- Why are some nations rich and some poor? Daron Acemoglu argues that systems described in economics textbooks work merely in ideal conditions and explains the long-term causes of poverty and prosperity. History shows us that a nation's rise and fall depends on the inclusivity of its economic and political institutions. He also takes a look at how certain nations with exploitative institutions were able to achieve economic prosperity.
