'Asenjoyable as it is thought-provoking' Jared Diamond
Bythe authors of the international bestseller Why Nations Fail, based on decadesof research, this powerful new big-picture framework explains how somecountries develop towards and provide liberty while others fall to despotism,anarchy or asphyxiating norms - and explains how liberty can thrive despite newthreats.
Libertyis hardly the 'natural' order of things; usually states have been either tooweak to protect individuals or too strong for people to protect themselves fromdespotism. There is also a happy Western myth that where liberty exists, it's asteady state, arrived at by 'enlightenment'. But liberty emerges only when adelicate and incessant balance is struck between state and society - betweenelites and citizens. This struggle becomes self-reinforcing, inducing bothstate and society to develop a richer array of capacities, thus affecting thepeacefulness of societies, the success of economies and how people experiencetheir daily lives.
Explainingthis new framework through compelling stories from around the world, in historyand from today - and through a single diagram on which the development of any statecan be plotted - this masterpiece helps us understand the past and present, andanalyse the future.
'Inthis highly original and gratifying fresco, Daron Acemoglu and Jim Robinsontake us on a journey through civilizations, time and locations. Their narrowcorridor depicts the constant and often unstable struggle of society to keepthe Leviathan in check and of the Leviathan to weaken the cage of norms. Aremarkable achievement that only they could pull off and that seems destined torepeat the stellar performance of Why Nations Fail' Jean Tirole, Nobel Laureatein Economics, 2014
'Anotheroutstanding, insightful book by Acemoglu and Robinson on the importance anddifficulty of getting and maintaining a successful democratic state. Packedwith examples and analysis, it is a pleasure to read' Peter Diamond, NobelLaureate in Economics, 2010
'TheNarrow Corridor takes us on a fascinating journey, across continents andthrough human history, to discover the critical ingredient of liberty. It findsthat it's up to each of us: that ingredient is our own commitments, ascitizens, to support democratic values. In these times, there can be no moreimportant message - nor any more important book' George Akerlof, Nobel Laureatein Economics, 2001
'Howshould we view the current challenges facing our democracies? This brilliant,timely book offers a simple, powerful framework for assessing alternative formsof social governance. The analysis is a reminder that it takes vigilance tomaintain a proper balance between the state and society - to stay in the'narrow corridor' - and avoid falling either into statelessness ordictatorship' Bengt Holmstrom, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2016
