Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty by Daron AcemoğluMy rating: 5 of 5 stars

The MIT professor argues that more democratic countries with inclusive political institutions create sustained prosperity, while “extractive” authoritarian regimes lead toward poverty.
Acemoglu discusses why China is not the exception.
