Prosperity, power and poverty: Why some countries do better than others
by Daron Acemoglu (Author), James A. Robinson (Author), Philippe Aghion (Preface), Patrick Hersant (Translator)
original title: Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity and Poverty (English)
Why are some countries rich and others poor? Is it due to culture, climate, geography? Or is it the result of the ignorance of political leaders? Acemoglu and Robinson show with numerous examples that these answers do not hold water. History and economic analysis suggest a different explanation: it is the presence or absence of certain political and economic institutions that ensure or prevent progress towards prosperity. From “extractive” institutions – protecting the interests of a powerful elite at the expense of the common good – to “inclusive” institutions – which set limits on the influence of the powerful, eliminate discrimination and promote innovation – the passage is littered with obstacles. Acemoglu and Robinson analyze them in detail, drawing on an impressive array of examples, drawn from the history of the Roman Empire, the Maya city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, the Latin America, Africa and Western countries. They thus elaborate a new synthesis of political economy of undeniable relevance for the great political and economic challenges of today.
