The traditional rules-based system of the West, which has yielded peace dividends for many decades, now faces challenges from an emerging new world order. Building upon the themes introduced in Grandjean and Tan’s Financial Times Readers’ Best 2021 Summer Books, Values at the Core: How Human Values Contribute to the Rise of Nations, this book adopts a fresh perspective, examining historical precedents while charting a course for the future. Through accessible economic and social analyses of 12 nations, it offers insights into potential pathways forward.

Key Features:
This book goes deeper and uses more practical approach than in Values at the Core, which set the theoretical framework for the two titlesThis book offers a unique perspective on our understanding of why some nations become richer than others, providing valuable guidance to policymakers around the world. Other theories of developmental economics neglect either values or policies; as such they are incomplete, with countless examples to disprove them. We firmly believe that our conclusions apply to every nation without exceptionBy incorporating values into the study of policies, this book also provides other unique insights, such as the importance of hard work in explaining cross-country education performance, the thriftiness of a population in determining whether an economy should focus on exports for its growth, or the level of social trust in explaining the efficiency of tax and redistributive policies
