Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the 2012 book Why Nations Fail, co-authored by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson. In this book, the authors show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that are behind economic success or failure. It centers its discussion on the role of economic institutions such as secure property rights and political institutions such as free and fair elections in promoting development. Data are presented with geographic distribution based on quantitative and qualitative data. Drawing on fifteen years of original research, they bring together historical evidence from the world to construct a new theory of political economy with great relevance to today's big questions.
