Description
"In 1700, Latin America and British North America were roughly equal in economic terms. Yet over the next three centuries, the United States gradually pulled away, and today the gap is huge. Why did this happen?" "In Falling Behind, Francis Fukuyama, acclaimed author of The End of History and America at the Crossroads, gathers together some of the world's leading scholars on the subject to explain the nature of the gap and how it came to be. Tracing the histories of development over the past 400 years and focusing in particular on the policies of the last 50 years, the contributors conclude that while many factors are important, economic policies and weak institutions are at the root of the divide."--Jacket.
