Varför misslyckas vissa länder? Varför blomstrar andra? Hur påverkar maktbalans, teknologiska framsteg och historiska vägval utvecklingen i våra samhällen och nationer?

I Varför är inte hela världen rik? presenteras utdrag från tre banbrytande verk skrivna av Daron Acemoglu, James A. Robinson och Simon Johnson, mottagare av Sveriges Riksbanks pris i ekonomisk vetenskap till Alfred Nobels minne 2024. Här undersöks hur institutioner, makt och teknik formar världen.

Why nations fail förklarar hur inkluderande institutioner bygger välstånd medan exploaterande institutioner leder till stagnation.

The narrow corridor utforskar balansen mellan statlig makt och samhällsfrihet och varför vissa nationer lyckas skapa demokratiskt välstånd.

Power and progress visar hur teknologi, från den industriella revolutionen till dagens AI, kan driva utveckling eller fördjupa klyftor.

Utifrån historiska exempel industriella revolutionen, USA och Mexiko, Sydkorea och Nordkorea beskriver ekonomipristagarna varför samtiden och framtiden inte är förutbestämd. Boken kan också läsas som en bruksanvisning: vad kan vi lära oss av historien under oroliga tider och inför de teknologiska genombrott som nu stöper om både ekonomi och samhälle?

Jesper Roine, professor vid Handelshögskolan i Stockholm, har skrivit inledning och kompletterande avsnitt, som sätter texterna i både en svensk och global kontext. För alla som är nyfikna på världens ekonomiska och politiska utveckling är detta en inspirerande och tankeväckande läsning ett måste för alla som vill förstå de krafter som inte bara format vår historia utan också formar vår framtid.

»Framställningen är, trots ämnets allvar, lättillgänglig, mycket engagerande, ögonöppnande och ytterst tänkvärd för alla« Helhetsbetyg 5/5 – Anders Weidung, BTJ

BY THE NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING ECONOMISTS DARON ACEMOGLU & JAMES A. ROBINSON Shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year AwardWhy are some nations more prosperous than others? Why Nations Fail sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace.Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty.

Much of the wealth generated by agricultural advances during the Middle Ages was captured by the Church while the peasants starved. The first hundred years of industrialization delivered stagnant incomes for workers, while making a few people rich. Throughout the world today, digital technologies and artificial intelligence increase inequality and undermine democracy. It doesn't have to be this way. Power and Progress demonstrates that the path of technology was once - and can again be - brought under control. With their breakthrough economic theory and manifesto for a better society, Acemoglu and Johnson provide the vision to reshape how we innovate so we can create real prosperity for all.Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson were awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences on 14 October 2024.

Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.

FROM THE WINNERS OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICSOne of the Financial Times' Best Books of 2019One of Kirkus Reviews' Best Books of 2019Shortlisted for the Lionel Gelber Prize'This book is more original and exciting than its predecessor...the highly influential Why Nations Fail’ Martin Wolf, Financial TimesBy the authors of the international bestseller Why Nations Fail, based on decades of research, this powerful new big-picture framework explains how some countries develop towards and provide liberty while others fall to despotism, anarchy or asphyxiating norms - and explains how liberty can thrive despite new threats.Liberty is hardly the 'natural' order of things; usually states have been either too weak to protect individuals or too strong for people to protect themselves from despotism. There is also a happy Western myth that where liberty exists, it's a steady state, arrived at by 'enlightenment'. But liberty emerges only when a delicate and incessant balance is struck between state and society - between elites and citizens. This struggle becomes self-reinforcing, inducing both state and society to develop a richer array of capacities, thus affecting the peacefulness of societies, the success of economies and how people experience their daily lives.Explaining this new framework through compelling stories from around the world, in history and from today - and through a single diagram on which the development of any state can be plotted - this masterpiece helps us understand the past and present, and analyse the future.'As enjoyable as it is thought-provoking' Jared Diamond

Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy

AvDaron Acemoglu,James A. Robinson

Häftad, Engelska, 2009

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar

This book develops a framework for analyzing the creation and consolidation of democracy. Different social groups prefer different political institutions because of the way they allocate political power and resources. Thus democracy is preferred by the majority of citizens, but opposed by elites. Dictatorship nevertheless is not stable when citizens can threaten social disorder and revolution. In response, when the costs of repression are sufficiently high and promises of concessions are not credible, elites may be forced to create democracy. By democratizing, elites credibly transfer political power to the citizens, ensuring social stability. Democracy consolidates when elites do not have strong incentive to overthrow it. These processes depend on (1) the strength of civil society, (2) the structure of political institutions, (3) the nature of political and economic crises, (4) the level of economic inequality, (5) the structure of the economy, and (6) the form and extent of globalization.

Features

Three unified principles lay the groundwork for understanding the economic way of thinking about the world Optimisation. Economists believe that optimisation explains most choices people make. When people fail to choose the best available option, economic reasoning can be used to analyse the mistake and to suggest a better course of action. Equilibrium. Economic systems tend toward equilibrium, wherein each economic actor feels that he or she cannot do any better by picking another course of action. This principle highlights the connections among economic actors and their choices. Empiricism. Economists use data to test economic theories, learn about the world, and speak to policy makers. The emphasis on matching theories with real-world data to answer specific questions helps to show students the evidence behind the theory, making economics concrete, interesting, and fun.

New to this edition

End-of-chapter Evidence-Based Economic problems show how economists use data to answer the question posed in the opening paragraph of each chapter. These features let students get a real look at economics as it plays out in the world around them, and gives them the skills to question systematically and evaluate what they read. New problems focus on the effectiveness of financial incentives to get people to quit smoking (Chapter 5); employment discrimination and the Democratic presidential nomination (Chapter 11); and the role of discrimination in wage differences across gender and ethnicity (Chapter 11). Letting the Data Speak boxes are short, targeted explorations that analyse an economic question by using real data as the foundation of the discussion. Recent additions profile the impact of tax and service charges on price elasticity (Chapter 5), the costs and benefits of government regulation and safety (Chapter 7), and how companies can optimise apologies to their customer (Chapter 18). Choice and Consequence exercises emphasise optimisation by focusing on making the best decision. These features ask students to make an economic decision, or evaluate the consequences of past real decisions. The authors then explain how an economist might analyse the same decision. New questions discuss the Coronavirus vaccination. Practical coverage of microeconomics helps students see how they can apply course content in their own decision-making. New and relevant discussions include COVID-19's impact on positive and normative economics related to unemployment and the stock market (Chapter 1), the trade-offs between health and economic output during the COVID-19 crisis (Chapter 1), how stay-at-home orders in 2020 impacted the demand for gasoline in developed countries (Chapter 4), and more. An integrated approach to consumption and production. Chapters 5 and 6 show students that consumption and production are really two sides of the same coin, glued together by the idea of incentives. Upon grasping the commonalities and linkages between the processes of consumer and producer decisions, students can see and get a better understanding of the whole picture and how these concepts tie together. In-depth coverage of game theory that yields powerful insights. Chapter 13 is devoted entirely to game theory, which is a source of some very powerful economic insights. This chapter emphasises that it helps us better understand the world when we place ourselves in the shoes of someone else. In so doing, each student may develop a deeper understanding of how to choose a strategy that is a best response to the strategies of others. An innovative suite that extends the microeconomic toolbox. Chapters 15 to 17 help students see the relevance of the study of microeconomics, which is applicable to real-life topics such as how compound interest causes an investment's value to grow over time. And the book comes to a close in an innovative fashion with Chapter 18 on social economics. Exploring the economics of charity, fairness, and revenge, this final chapter drives home the fact that economic principles can be extended to every corner of our world.
