Why are some nations rich while others remain poor? It’s not geography or culture, it’s institutions. Inclusive ones empower people; extractive ones enrich elites.

Just wrapped up "Why Nations Fail" by Acemoglu and Robinson. It delves into how systems operate, why they crumble, and who bears the brunt. Nations thrive with open, fair, and inclusive institutions, not when power is hoarded. #WhyNationsFail #InclusiveGrowth

The US is following a recipe for national demise. See “Why Nations Fail” by Daron Acemoglu and James A Robinson. #WhyNationsFail #Politics #Economics
There is strong synergy between economic and political institutions. Extractive political institutions concentrate power in the hands of a narrow elite and place few constraints on the exercise of this power. Economic institutions are then often structured by this elite to extract resources from the rest of the society. Extractive economic institutions thus naturally accompany extractive political institutions. In fact, they must inherently depend on extractive political institutions for their survival. Inclusive political institutions, vesting power broadly, would tend to uproot economic institutions that expropriate the resources of the many, erect entry barriers, and suppress the functioning of markets so that only a few benefit.

Just finished ‘Why Nations Fail’ by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson.

I’m still hanging—so much to process. The book dives into why some nations thrive while others stay trapped.

If you’ve read it, what stuck with you the most?

In Why Nations Fail, extractive economic institutions are defined as those designed to extract income and wealth from one subset of society to benefit another. #whynationsfail Its third chapter made me realize the importance of private property rights for the masses in achieving economic prosperity.

#WhyNationsFail Waar economische/politieke macht wordt gedeeld, ontstaat verbreding en groei, waar niet heerst onderdrukking en stagnatie.

#WhyNationsFail leest als 'n vervolg op "Guns, Germs and Steel" van Jarod Diamond, als een wereldgeschiedenis. Heel goed na elkaar te lezen.

I consistently learn more from one blog post by @WhyNationsFail than reams of academic and policy articles. <a href="http://whynationsfail.com/blog/2012/5/17/american-lessons-for-europe.html" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">http://whynationsfail.com/blog/2012/5/17/american-lessons-for-europe.html
