Why Nations Fail: The Origins of Power, Prosperity, and Poverty

Daron Acemoğlu & James A. Robinson

2012

The word suited

the author’s purpose
in two material respects,
for, first, it had an ancient English sound;

And secondly

it conveyed
no indication whatever
of the nature of the story

He presumes to hold

this last quality to be
of no small importance
What is called a taking title

Serves the direct

interest of the bookseller or publisher
who by this means sometimes
sells an edition
