Sinopsis
A bestselling work by economists Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson that explores why some nations prosper while others remain poor. Challenging explanations based on culture, geography, or climate, the authors argue that the key lies in political and economic institutions created by societies. Drawing on extensive historical evidence—from the Roman Empire to modern Korea—they show how inclusive institutions foster growth, while extractive ones lead to stagnation. Using cases like North and South Korea, they illustrate how political choices shape economic outcomes. The book offers a powerful framework to understand global inequality and raises pressing questions about the future of major economies.
