In this groundbreaking work, Acemoglu and Robinson explore the deep-rooted causes behind wealth and poverty among nations. Drawing from a wealth of historical evidence and contemporary examples, they argue that political and economic institutions — not geography or culture — are the ultimate determinants of national success or failure. This book offers a compelling framework for understanding global inequality and the forces that shape prosperity.
