Характеристики
A provocative bestseller that explains why the world is divided into nations with wildly differing levels of prosperity.
Why are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace.
Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty. They offer a pragmatic basis for the hope that at 'critical junctures' in history, those mired in poverty can be placed on the path to prosperity - with important consequences for our views on everything from the role of aid to the future of China.

PREFACE
Why Egyptians filled Tahrir Square to bring down Hosni
Mubarak and what it means for our understanding of
the causes of prosperity and poverty
1. So CLOSE AND YET SO DIFFERENT
Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, have the same
people, culture, and geography. Why is one rich and
one poor?
2. THEORIES THAT DON'T WORK
Poor countries are poor not because of their
geographies or cultures, or because their leaders do
not know which policies will enrich their citizens
3. THE MAKING OF PROSPERITY AND POVERTY
How prosperity and poverty are determined by the
incentives created by institutions, and how politics
determines what institutions a nation has
4. SMALL DIFFERENCES AND CRITICAL JUNCTURES:
THE WEIGHT OF HISTORY
How institutions change through political conflict and
how the past shapes the present
5. "I'VE SEEN THE FUTURE, AND IT WORKS": GROWTH
UNDER EXTRACTIVE INSTITUTIONS
What Stalin, King Shyaam, the Neolithic Revolution, and
the Maya city-states all had in common and how this
explains why ' Chinas current economic growth cannot
last
6. DRIFTING APART
How institutions evolve over time, often slowly drifting
apart
7. THE TURNING POINT
How a political revolution in 1688 changed institutions in
England and led to the Industrial Revolution
8. NOT ON OUR TURF: BARRIERS TO DEVELOPMENT
Why the politically powerful in many nations opposed
the Industrial Revolution
9. REVERSING DEVELOPMENT
How European colonialism impoverished large parts of
the world
10. THE DIFFUSION OF PROSPERITY
How some parts of the world took different paths to
prosperity from that of Britain
11. THE VIRTUOUS CIRCLE
How institutions that encourage prosperity create
positive feedback loops that prevent the efforts by
elites to undermine them
12. THE VICIOUS CIRCLE
How institutions that create poverty generate negative
feedback loops and endure
13. WHY NATIONS FAIL TODAY
Institutions, institutions, institutions
14. BREAKING THE MOLD
How a few countries changed their economic trajectory
by changing their institutions
15. UNDERSTANDING PROSPERITY AND POVERTY
How the world could have been different and how
understanding this can explain why most attempts to
combat poverty have failed
