The Narrow Corridor: States, Societies, and the Fate of Liberty

The Narrow Corridor by Daron Acemoglu and James A.

Robinson is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the secret to liberty's survival in an otherwise hostile world.

This book provides a new framework for understanding why some societies are able to sustain democracy while others succumb to authoritarianism or chaos.

Drawing on a wealth of evidence from history and current events, the authors show that liberty is not a natural state but rather the result of a delicate balance between state and society.

The struggle between these two forces is constant and requires constant vigilance to maintain.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding why some societies are able to thrive while others fail, and how we can work towards creating a more just and equitable world.
