1. 1. Why Nations Fail

   The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty

   

   This book delves into the origins of power, prosperity, and poverty, arguing that the fate of nations is determined not by geography, culture, or ignorance, but rather by the institutions that shape economic incentives and political power. It contrasts inclusive institutions, which enable and encourage participation by the great mass of people in economic activities that make the best use of their talents and skills, with extractive institutions, which are designed to extract incomes and wealth from one subset of society to benefit a different subset. Through a wide array of historical examples and analysis, the authors demonstrate how the interplay between these institutions has led to divergent paths of development among nations, suggesting that those with inclusive institutions tend to enjoy greater prosperity and success.

    A bold reassessment of New Testament chronology, arguing that most—if not all—of its documents were written before 70 CE.
