The Narrow Corridor. Part 2

Authors of the international bestseller "Why Nations Fail" in their new audiobook explore how some countries develop and secure freedom for their citizens, while others fall into despotism or lawlessness. Freedom emerges when a fragile but enduring balance is established between the state and society, between elites and citizens. But how can they learn not only to compete, but also to cooperate? How can one pass through the narrow corridor leading to freedom, squeezed between despotism and anarchy? And why is this corridor so narrow? By answering these questions, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson help us understand the past and the present—and glimpse the future.
