Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to instill in you the belief in the goodness of all humankind and to implement a system that enables us to live free, prosperous, and peaceful lives. Freedom means living in a society of fairness, where we have equal access to opportunities and checks that prevent us from harming others. Just imagine a world where every individual is only allowed to do good, and no one is above the law.The objective of democracy extends well beyond the selection of leaders. A society can thrive only when it has a system of checks and balances to ensure fairness. The best option we currently have is a democracy that limits the powers of leaders and their terms in office. It also distributes governmental power across many segments of the society, again with the ultimate goal of limiting any one person's ability to cause harm to others.This book uncovers the myths about what leads to prosperity. It shows that it is not education, it is not the language, it is not culture, religion, race, natural resources, nor geography that leads to prosperity. Most of the world's problems occur because corrupt leaders have the power to steal without being punished.Prosperity requires checks and balances in a system of government so that the natural instincts of human beings to assist each other are not thwarted by the corrupt acts of a limited number of people in positions of power.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Relations of Political Science to National Prosperity: An Address Delivered at the Opening of the School of Political Science of the University of Michigan, October 3, 1881 These words of Milton, written while the party of which he was at once an ornament and a leader was struggling to lay the foundations of a popular government, express the conditions on which alone, in his opinion, a government by the people maysecure happiness, prosperity, and perpetuity. The conditions on which he insisted, it will be observed, were three in number first, that there should be a foundation in a good general educa tion; second, that there should be a thorough education in poli tical affairs; and, third, that the education, thus provided for should be in harmony with the principles of the government in which the person so educated is to live. The full significance of the positions assumed by the great poet grows out of two very simple, but very fundamental and very important principles. These are, first, that the nature of all popular governments is determined, not so much by institutions as by popular opinion and, second, that popular opinion is always shaped and guided by the educated classes. But is it true that the nature of a government depends more upon popular opinion than upon institutions? Yes, and for very simple reasons. Institutions are not the product of spontaneous generation, but are made by men. They do not precede intelli gence, but follow it. They are the product of thought and will and, therefore, like all other products, are either well or ill-con structed. Not only that, but when the political machinery is once complete, it has no power to work, of itself. Like all machinery, it is dependent upon some force from without. It must be worked by men. It demands, not simply acquiescence but also participa tion. There is no power in a law or an institution by itself, for the reason that a law or an institution is simply a means by which human intelligence and human will are applied. And so we find that no excellence of institutions is able to enforce a law that is at variance with the dominant force in society. Accordingly, in any community whatever, if there is a general repugnance to a statute, that statute cannot 'be enforced except by some external power. Give the wisest laws to the North American Indians. Does any one suppose that such laws could be made operative by any other agency than a foreign force? It required a thousand years to persuade the barbarians who overran the Roman Empire to accept and enforce the laws of civilization. And the reason was simply that a shorter length of time was not enough to con vert the dominant force of society to a better way of thinking.

Download or read book Why Nations Fail written by Daron Acemoglu and published by Currency. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are? Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence? Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.

Download or read book Governing for Prosperity written by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2000-07-11 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do political institutions help promote prosperity in some countries and poverty in others? What can be done to encourage leaders to govern not for patronage but for economic growth? In this book, such distinguished political economists as Douglass North, Robert Barro, and Stephen Haber answer these questions, providing a solution to one of the most important policy puzzles of the new century: how to govern for prosperity. The authors begin from a premise that political leaders are self-interested politicians rather than benign agents of the people they lead. When leaders depend on only a few backers to stay in power, they dole out privileges to those people, thereby dissipating their country’s total resources and national growth potential. On the other hand, leaders who need large coalitions to stay in office implement policies that generally foster growth and political competition over ideas. The result is that those who promote policies that lead to stagnation tend to stay in office for a long time, and those who produce prosperity tend to lose their jobs. Analyzing countries in North and South America and Asia, the authors discuss the range of political regimes that permit or even encourage leaders to rule by mismanaging their nation’s resources. And they show that nations must forge institutions that allow all social groups to participate in and benefit from the economy as well as force political leaders to be responsible for policy outcomes.
