In Why Nations Fail, extractive economic institutions are defined as those designed to extract income and wealth from one subset of society to benefit another. #whynationsfail Its third chapter made me realize the importance of private property rights for the masses in achieving economic prosperity.

Just wrapped up "Why Nations Fail" by Acemoglu and Robinson. It delves into how systems operate, why they crumble, and who bears the brunt. Nations thrive with open, fair, and inclusive institutions, not when power is hoarded. #WhyNationsFail #InclusiveGrowth

It's obviously too early for anything. But worth remembering from @WhyNationsFail that these key moments of discontinuity often drive very-long-term convergence/divergence trends in countries' pecking order.

As @WhyNationsFail and other research of its authors show, historical shocks matter not just for long but forever. The best we can do is to strive to make future shocks more likely positive than negative and hope for the best. https://twitter.com/xarretch/status/933791449774215168

Just finished ‘Why Nations Fail’ by Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson.
I’m still hanging—so much to process. The book dives into why some nations thrive while others stay trapped.
If you’ve read it, what stuck with you the most?
