| Formatted contents note | Table of contents<br/>Preface;<br/>Why Egyptians filled Tahrir Square to bring down Hosni Mubarak;<br/>and what it means for our understanding of the causes of prosperity and poverty; <br/>1. So Close and Yet So Different Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, have the same people,<br/>culture, and geography. Why is one rich and one poor;<br/> <br/>2. Theories That Don’t Work Poor countries are poor not because of their geographies or cultures, or because their leaders do not know which policies will enrich their citizens;<br/> <br/>3. The Making of Prosperity and Poverty How prosperity and poverty are determined by the incentives created by institutions, and how politics determines what institutions a nation has;<br/> <br/>4. Small Differences and Critical Junctures: The Weight of History How institutions change through political conflict and how<br/>the past shapes the present; <br/>5. “I’ve Seen the Future, and It Works”: Growth Under Extractive Institutions What Stalin, King Shyaam, the Neolithic Revolution, and the Maya city-states all had in common and how this explains why China’s current economic growth cannot last;<br/> <br/>6. Drifting Apart How institutions evolve over time, often slowly drifting apart; <br/>7. The Turning Point How a political revolution in 1688 changed institutions in England and led to the Industrial Revolution;<br/> <br/>8. Not on Our Turf: Barriers to Development Why the politically powerful in many nations opposed the Industrial Revolution;<br/> <br/>9. Reversing Development How European colonialism impoverished large parts of the world; <br/>10. The Diffusion of Prosperity How some parts of the world took different paths to prosperity from that of Britain;<br/> <br/>11. The Virtuous Circle How institutions that encourage prosperity create positive feedback;<br/> <br/>12. The Vicious Circle How institutions that create poverty generate negative feedback loops and endure;<br/> <br/>13. Why Nations Fail Today Institutions, institutions, institutions; <br/>14. Breaking the Mold How a few countries changed their economic trajectory by changing their institutions;<br/> <br/>15. Understanding Prosperity and Poverty How the world could have been different and how understanding this can explain why most attempts to combat poverty have failed;<br/> <br/>Acknowledgments;<br/>Bibliographical Essay and Sources;<br/>References;<br/>Index |
