'' Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty '' is a non-fiction book by Turkish-American economist Daron Acemoglu from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and political scientist James A. Robinson from Harvard University. The book applies insights from institutional economics, development economics and economic history to answer why nations develop differently, with some succeeding in the accumulation of power and prosperity, while others fail. The authors also maintain a website (with an active blog) about the themes of the book.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Why Nations Fail )〕 == Structure== The book is structured into fifteen chapters: * 0. Preface * 1.
