szachary 's review for:
Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty
by Daron Acemoğlu, James A. Robinson
This is the book that addresses the Romans vs Americans debate, the what goes up must come down aphorism and others. Don't let the simplicity of the questions fool you, this book is a rich and dense read with a ton to absorb.
Groundbreaking work alongside some of the greatest political and economic thinking of the modern day. I found this book enlightening and engaging. It could very well be called "Institutions", however, it's one of those books you'll have to read more then once to get the full grasp of content out of it.
The research was robust, the content was structured in a linear and logical way, and the premise was engaging and inspiring. I deduct one star only because some of the content overlapped and the clarity of the writing sometimes seemed to lack discernible direction. Overall a book that belongs in everyone's library.
