"«Chi si allontana dal gruppo è preda del falco» recita un proverbio del popolo ashanti: il mondo è crudele e i forti hanno sempre oppresso i deboli con la violenza. In assenza di un'autorità centrale l'unica protezione è rifugiarsi in una gabbia – spesso opprimente – di norme, tradizioni e alleanze tra clan.

Ґрунтуючись на п’ятнадцятирічних дослідженнях у галузях історії, політології та економіки, автори легко і доступно пояснюють, чому економічний успіх держав не залежить від культури, клімату чи географічного положення.
