Robinson.  aLondon :bProfile Books,c2013.  axi, 529 p., [16] unnumbered p. of plates :bill., maps ;c20 cm.  aOriginally published : 2012.  aIncludes bibliographical references (pages [483]-509) and index.  aWhy are some nations rich and others poor? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of the right policies? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Based on fifteen years of original research, Acemoglu and Robinson marshall historical evidence from the Roman Empire to the Soviet Union, from Korea to Africa, to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? Is America moving from a virtuous circle, in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted, to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? This book will change the way you look at--and understand--the world.--From American publisher description.   aAlso issued online. 7aEconomicsxPolitical aspects.2BUEsh940362 7aInstitutional economics.2BUEsh 7aEconomic anthropology.2BUEsh 7aEconomic historyy1945-2BUEsh928315 7aFailed states.2BUEsh  2BUEsh  bBUSECObGGENcApril2019  vReading book1 aRobinson, James A.,d1960-  2ddc  00102ddc40708BaccahaMAINbMAINc1STd2019-04-20ePurchaseg380.00l4m9o330 ACEp000044612r2025-10-22 00:00:00s2025-10-21v475.00yBB
