Description  

Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson explores the role of political and economic institutions in shaping the success or failure of nations. The authors argue that inclusive institutions—those that provide equal opportunities and encourage innovation—lead to prosperity, while extractive institutions—where power is concentrated in the hands of a few—lead to poverty and stagnation. Through historical examples, the book demonstrates how institutions shape the economic and political landscape, and why nations with inclusive institutions thrive, while others fail. It offers a compelling analysis of the root causes of global inequality and poverty.
