The Wealth and Poverty of Nations
The Wealth and Poverty of Nations
Author: David Landes
Why it’s on the list: A sweeping economic history arguing that culture, climate, institutions, and openness to innovation explain the wealth gap between rich and poor nations.
Where I saw it: Recommended in Poor Charlie’s Almanack — part of Charlie Munger’s perennial reading list of books that build a latticework of multidisciplinary mental models.
