“Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty,” co-authored by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson, is a groundbreaking exploration into the factors that shape the divergent destinies of nations. The book delves into the intricate interplay of political and economic institutions, arguing that inclusive institutions are the key drivers of prosperity, while extractive institutions lead to poverty and stagnation. Through a comprehensive analysis of historical and contemporary case studies, the authors contend that political and economic inclusivity fosters innovation, economic growth, and social mobility, creating a virtuous cycle of development. Conversely, extractive institutions concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few, stifling progress and perpetuating poverty. “Why Nations Fail” offers a compelling framework that challenges deterministic theories and highlights the pivotal role of institutions in shaping the trajectory of nations.
