How Rich Countries Die

2009-03-17 23:48:15.621717+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Philip Greenspun: How Rich Countries Die, in which he looks at The Rise and Decline of Nations: Economic Growth, Stagflation, and Social Rigidities[Wiki], by Mancur Olson[Wiki]. The comments are interesting, I've been mulling this one for a few days, but then John Robb linked to it and quoted extensively.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
