On March 23, Democracy editor Michael Tomasky will moderate a discussion with distinguished economist Daron Acemoglu at the Center for American Progress. They will be discussing Acemoglu’s new book, Why Nations Fail, co-authored with James Robinson. The book concludes that manmade political and economic institutions that foster a strong middle class create powerful forces for economic growth and national success.
