Will’s Reviews > Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty > Status Update

The history that underpins the politico-economic analysis in this book is honestly awful so far, especially the sections on China. Some interesting tidbits, but Robinson and Acemoglu clearly haven't read any history written by anyone on the left. It feels like an attempt to get neoliberals to be sympathetic to the developing world. More soon.
