Why nation fail

Indagine sulla ricchezza delle nazioni. Punta tutto sulle istituzioni, è lì che si crea sviluppo.

La tesi centrale: esistono due tipi di sviluppo: 1. lo sviluppo estrattivo che parte dal basso e imita e 2. lo sviluppo sulla frontiera tecnologica.

Per il primo tipo di sviluppo una dittatura illuminata è sufficiente: si copia dagli altri, si aprono le frontiere e si puo' fare buon lavoro.

Ma il secondo tipo di sviluppo richiede istituzioni flessibili. Perché? Perché l' innovazione richiede distruzione creativa, un lusso che le dittature (e anche molte democrazie anchilosate) non possono permettersi.
