The Power Divide: Why Some Nations Thrive While Others Struggle
Ever wonder why a simple border crossing can mark the difference between prosperity and poverty? The answer isn't geography, culture, or leadership ignorance-it's institutions. The true determinants of a nation's fate are the rules, both formal and informal, that shape economic and political life. Countries flourish when they develop inclusive institutions that distribute power broadly and create economic opportunities for everyone. They falter when extractive institutions concentrate power among elites who exploit others for personal gain. This institutional perspective explains puzzling contrasts like North and South Korea-identical in culture and geography but dramatically different in prosperity-or the stark divide between Nogales, Arizona and Nogales, Mexico. The pattern repeats across history and continents: inclusive institutions create virtuous cycles of innovation and growth, while extractive ones trap nations in poverty despite their natural resources or strategic locations. What's fascinating is how these institutional patterns become self-reinforcing. Once established, inclusive institutions create their own constituencies who defend and strengthen them. Similarly, extractive institutions generate vicious circles where elites use their economic power to consolidate political control, which they then leverage to extract more wealth.
