♥︎ day 4/15 of me reading a chapter of why nations fail everyday until it's done :-)
This chapter talks about country-specific critical junctures that affect the formation of institutions… and I can’t help but think of People Power and the subsequent writing of the 1987 Constitution as ours.

Anyways a great introduction to a framework of inclusive and extractive institutions when it comes to politics and economics, as well as how they are intertwined. Less riveting compared to the previous chapters, because this was a nerd out. But wow the analysis holds up, especially here in the PH.

the philippines is the best example for the THEORIES THAT DONT WORK chapter. the philippines is not poor because we are near the equator, which made us lazy, that the spaniards taught us shit values, and that made us and our leaders incomeptent. we are poor because our leaders are purposefully running the show wrong.

The chapter discusses what happens when the juncture does not promote centralizing power of government in order for the political and economic institutions to become inclusive. In fear of being extractive, our constitution, and the reforms it has introduced, unfortunately is just too loose that it lacks centralizing power towards restricting extractive political and economic practices. I think about what would’ve happened if the framers of our constitution restricted extractive methods more, instead of being all nice about it. We could’ve been at least more authoritarian against extractive political and economic institutions, and then relaxed once we reaped the fruits… but alas, our revolution was a revolution of peace and kindness and love. And we have to face that it has consequences.
