This acclaimed bestseller tackles one of the most contentious and hotly debated questions of our time: Why do some nations achieve economic success while others remain mired in poverty?
The answer, as author David S. Landes definitively illustrates, is a complex interplay of cultural mores and historical circumstance. Rich with anecdotal evidence, piercing analysis, and an impressive range of erudition, the book includes an epilogue in which Landes takes account of Asian financial crises and the international tension between overconfidence and reality.
