Reply to Acemoglu and Robinson’s Response to my Book Review
Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson (AR) have replied to my review of Why Nations Fail (WFN) that appeared in Foreign Affairs. I thank them for their response, even if their tone was a bit surprising. My initial review of their book was for a general readership, so I stayed away from the journal articles on which the book is based. Their response provides the opportunity to delve more deeply into these underlying studies.
