it was amazing

bookshelves: about-murders, a-little-historical, absolute, ebook, history, non-fiction, somehow-societal, economy

A fascinating (albeit difficult to grasp) study on why some nations succeed whilst others fail. The amount of information in this book is astounding, seeing as it is the result of 15 years of research on the topic. This is definitely a book I will re-read, because with a first read you just get the basic argument, but with the second one you get all the subtleties.

I recommend this to anyone with an interest in why our world is the way it is.
