Explores the question of why income per capita varies so greatly across countries. This book is unique in its melding of economics, political science, history, and sociology to address its central question.
Reviews
A first-rate book that bridges theory, history, and empirical analysis.

Why are some societies but not others able to encourage investments in places, people, and productivity? This book delivers a powerful message that the answer lies in large part in institutional differences across societies. It is the most successful interdisciplinary endeavor in the social sciences that I have ever had the pleasure to read.
