NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER - From two winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, "who have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country's prosperity""A wildly ambitious work that hopscotches through history and around the world to answer the very big question of why some countries get rich and others don't."--The New York Times

Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, or geography that determines prosperity or poverty? As Why Nations Fail shows, none of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Drawing on fifteen years of original research, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is our man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or the lack of it). Korea, to take just one example, is a remarkably homogenous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created those two different institutional trajectories. Acemoglu and Robinson marshal extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, among them: - Will China's economy continue to grow at such a high speed and ultimately overwhelm the West? - Are America's best days behind it? Are we creating a vicious cycle that enriches and empowers a small minority?
"This book will change the way people think about the wealth and poverty of nations . . . as ambitious as Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel."--BusinessWeek

Mostly great
Size: Daily Essentials Kit
Very good quality cleanser and moisturizer. Those two I would purchase again.
Only complaint: Face lotion is light and applies well but has that sunblock scent that lingers.

Really good product
Size: Daily Essentials Kit
This is a really good product. I usually hate the oiliness of skincare products, but this one is actually pretty light and fresh. My skin feels great after applying it. If you fall asleep without washing your face it does cause you to break out pretty bad though, especially if you shaved that day. As long as you wash it off at night, it's absolutely great.

Sunscreen full of chemicals
Size: Daily Essentials Kit
The cleanser is good. I did not like that the sunscreen has a lot of chemicals in it. They should use titanium oxide instead.
