Why read it?
1 author picked Economic Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Acemoglu and Robinson's book is (one of) the best theoretical monograph(s) in political economy.
I like how the book starts from a simple framework and then develops a series of models that emphasize how conflict and the potential for violent confrontation are essential factors for democratization.
Moreover, those models are always presented in perspective with an historical narrative that emphasizes why democracy is able to persist or not.
From Raphaƫl's list on revolutions and democratization.
