Почему одни страны богатые, а другие бедные. Происхождение власти, процветания и нищеты

The case studies felt carefully chosen to support their argument, but I wonder what criteria they used to select these specific nations and events.

The book breaks down complex ideas into accessible concepts, but I’m curious if others felt it simplified certain historical nuances or if it captured the core issues well.

That dichotomy seemed central to the book’s thesis, but I wonder if it was a conscious framing from the start or developed through their research process.
