About This Book

Acemoglu and Robinson analyze the historical and political factors that create and sustain liberty within a 'narrow corridor' where state power and social mobilization are balanced. Drawing on examples ranging from ancient civilizations to modern nations, the authors explain how societies navigate the tension between authoritarianism and lawlessness.
