Alan Beattie (1) (1971–)

An interesting and very accessible discussion of why economies all over the world succeed or fail. And according to this author, the answers aren't as clear cut as you might think.

Alan Beattie reviews examples from history of social conditions that contributed to economic success or failure. He has an extensive annotated bibliography for anyone who is interested in verifying the information the author used in the writing of this book. We can hope that our policy makers will inform themselves of this information and make the decisions that will take us to a better world rather into decline.

The subtitle says economic history. Balony. This book is at the level of low grade magazine articles. Every time I try to read it I am stopped by spectacular stupidity.
