Description

Why does the global hierarchy of nations change so frequently? Reversals of Fortune by Routledge examines 500 years of history to answer why some countries rise to power while others fall. This book challenges the two most common explanations for national success: the quality of institutions and the capacity for technological innovation. Instead, the text presents a different perspective on what drives economic and political success. It argues that a nation's standing is shaped by the relationship between its geography, its population, and the combination of global demand and current technological knowledge. This work is an essential read for anyone interested in business and economic history. It provides a deep look at the forces that turn the economic and political landscape topsy-turvy, offering a fresh way to understand the shifting power of nations over the last five centuries.
