Reviews"A convincing book that could make a big difference in the way we think about modern economic problems."--Peter Passell, New York Times Book Review "A canonical account of how economies become less flexible and dynamic as they age. . . . Today, as the U.S. limps from crisis to crisis, amid slow productivity growth, high inequality, and increasing political dysfunction, Olson's critique feels urgently relevant."--Walter Frick, Harvard Business Review "[Crises in housing, clean energy, health care, and transportation] . . . are all interlinked problems, and perhaps the best place to start understanding these challenges is a short book from 1982 by economist Mancur Olson, humbly titled The Rise and Decline of Nations ."--Dylan Matthews, Vox, "A convincing book that could make a big difference in the way we think about modern economic problems."--Peter Passell, New York Times Book Review

SynopsisMancur Olson's classic work explains the ways in which political and social instability lay the foundation for economic growth, why economic stability can produce stagnation, and how special interest groups can ultimately lead a nation to decline. In a new introduction to this Veritas edition, Edward L. Glaeser explains the continuing relevance of this book and why it remains a must-read for anyone who wants insight into the economic and political crises of our time. Book jacket.
