WHY NATIONS FAIL - DARON ACEMOGLU JAMES A ROBIN...

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award 2012.Why
are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question
with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate  geography or
culture  but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and
historical examples  from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China  leading
academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper  people need to
know that if they work hard  they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound
institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation  expansion and peace.Based on fifteen
years of research  and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to
Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond  Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of
Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics  politics  history and current affairs to
provide a new  powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty.
