Wohlstand Und Armut Der Nationen by David S. Landes
Why Some Are So Rich and Some So Poor
A sweeping economic history that explains why some societies became rich while others remained poor, arguing that long-term differences in wealth stem from a complex mix of factors: adoption of technology, institutional arrangements that protect property and markets, education and human capital, entrepreneurial culture and attitudes toward innovation, plus the effects of geography, politics and colonialism; through comparative case studies and historical analysis it emphasizes the decisive role of the industrial revolution and the diffusion of ideas and institutions while cautioning against simplistic or monocausal explanations for global disparities.
