Why Nations Fail

Very technical book. Even though this book discusses an interesting theory the understanding of it is rendered very difficult.

The authors make many references to developing economies and their history which makes it difficult to follow for the average reader.

For instance, sometimes politicians from small nations are introduced in the book and then later referred only by name without any reminders of the context or the country they are from.

However, there are some interesting anecdotes which will make you feel lucky to live in a developed country.
