Warum Nationen scheitern: Die Ursprünge von Macht, Wohlstand und Armut

Why Nations Fail is a groundbreaking book that provides a comprehensive answer to the age-old question of why some nations are rich while others are poor.

Written by two renowned economists, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson, this book offers a compelling argument that it is not culture, geography, or weather that determine a nation's economic success, but rather the political and economic institutions that underlie it.

Through a series of fascinating case studies, including Botswana, Korea, and Zimbabwe, the authors demonstrate how man-made institutions can either hinder or promote economic growth, and why some nations are able to overcome their historical disadvantages to become prosperous while others remain mired in poverty.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex factors that shape a nation's economic destiny and how to create policies that can help to unlock prosperity for all.
