Why nation Fail

Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson is a powerful non-fiction bestseller that examines why some nations thrive while others remain trapped in poverty. Drawing on history, economics, and politics, the authors argue that strong political and economic institutions are the key to long-term success, while corruption, inequality, and exploitation lead to failure.

Through examples from ancient civilizations to modern states, Acemoglu and Robinson explain how institutions shape nations’ destinies and why reforms are necessary for lasting prosperity. Insightful, deeply researched, and highly relevant today, this book is essential for students, professionals, and readers interested in politics, economics, and global development.
