Why do certain countries have greater prosperity than others? The goal of Why Nations Fail is to provide a convincing and well-argued new theory that argues that institutions, rather than climate, geography, or culture, are to blame for this phenomenon. Leading scholars Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson demonstrate that in order for people to invest and prosper, they need to believe that they can earn and keep money through hard work. This requires sound institutions that promote positive cycles of innovation, expansion, and peace. They do this by using an astounding range of historical and contemporary examples, from ancient Rome to the Tudors to modern-day China.
