This course addresses institutions and how important they are for success, or failure of nations. It also shows that there are no easy solutions. The course starts by introducing the concept of transaction costs and the effect it has on our society. Next, the course builds upon this insight and applies it to different countries in different historical settings to explain failure or success on a nation-wide level. |
