Description: Why do some countries have faster rates of economic growth than others? The relationship between economic growth and the political structure of a country has long been explored in an attempt to understand why some countries experience faster rates of growth than others. This book explores these issues from a new in-depth perspective, challenging conventional theory which claims that democracy promotes economic growth.
