Very Good. No Jacket. Size: 8vo-over 7? "-9? " tall; Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Gently used book, remainder mark lower edge, slight ripple to upper corner. Internals clean and unmarked.

The author weaves together the elements of history, economics, politics, and human studies, showing the ways in which governments and countries make concrete choices that determine their destinies. Giving examples of economic triumphs and disasters, he explains how some countries have gone wrong and others right, and why it is difficult to change course once you're on the path to ruin.
