The book โ€œWhy Nations Failโ€ explores the fundamental question of why some nations thrive while others struggle. It argues that the root cause lies in institutionsโ€”specifically, whether they are inclusive or extractive. Inclusive institutions promote economic freedom, innovation, and equality, paving the way for prosperity, while extractive institutions concentrate power and wealth in the hands of a few, perpetuating poverty and stagnation. The book's analysis spans centuries of history, offering insights into contemporary global issues, from failed states to economic disparities.

During this lecture we delve into the key themes of this groundbreaking work, discussing its implications for both policymakers and everyday citizens. โ€œWhy Nations Failโ€ is not just essential reading for economists but for anyone interested in the forces shaping our world. It challenges conventional wisdom and provides a framework for understanding how societies can escape the cycle of poverty and foster sustainable growth.
