Summary of Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson | Includes Analysis

Preview:

Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty is an examination of the causes of economic inequality. Authors Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson conclude that underdevelopment is caused by political institutions and not by geography, climate, or other cultural factors. Elites in underdeveloped countries deliberately plunder their people and keep them impoverished.
The city of Nogales is half in Mexico and half in the United States. People in Nogales on the US side of the border are well-educated, prosperous, and have long life expectancies. Those on the Mexican side are poor, poorly educated, and have shorter life expectancies.
The differences in Nogales can’t be explained by geography or culture. Instead, different governments cause the differences in development. The United States historically established pluralist institutions that encouraged technological innovation and spread wealth throughout the population. By contrast, in Mexico, Spanish conquerors established extractive institutions that were intended to…

    underdevelopment is caused by political institutions and not by geography, climate, or other cultural factors. Elites in underdeveloped countries deliberately plunder their people and keep them impoverished.

    South Korea is more developed than North Korea because North Korea is run by a smothering dictatorship that deliberately extracts wealth from its citizens. Countries are poor when they are ruled by governments that exploit the people and keep them in poverty. When governments are pluralist, open, and encourage innovation, as for example in England, economies grow and thrive. When governments are dictatorial and run to enrich the few, as occurs in Sierra Leone, economies stagnate.

    Why Nations Fail makes a strong polemical case for a controversial theory. Acemoglu and Robinson are partisans in this debate, and their perspective colors all aspects of their book. Readers who wish to consider the cases made for other causes of development will need to consult other sources. Jared Diamond, the historian against whom the authors most conspicuously argue, criticized Why Nations Fail in theNew York Review of Books, where he predictably argued that geography has a greater effect on development than Acemoglu and Robinson believe it does. [11] Roberto Patricio Korzeniewicz, a comparative and historical sociologist writing in Jacobin, argued that the authors ignore the extent to which global capitalism creates and depends upon inequality.
