The veil of illusion shall be swept aside and the amazing truth this has kept from us shall set you free.

How can poor and weak societies escape poverty traps? Political economists have traditionally offered three answers: "stimulate growth first," "build good institutions first," or "some fortunate nations inherited good institutions that led to growth." Yuen Yuen Ang rejects all three schools of thought and their underlying assumptions: linear causation, a mechanistic worldview, and historical determinism. Instead, she launches a new paradigm grounded in complex adaptive systems, which embraces the reality of interdependence and humanity's capacity to innovate.

In 1651, Thomas Hobbes declared that without a powerful ruler to keep them in line, human beings would tear each other apart. Life without government, he wrote, would be solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. For nearly four centuries, this bleak vision has served as the philosophical foundation for coercive authority everywhere. Hobbes gave the world a reason to accept the cage—and we have been living in it ever since. Boris Kriger argues that Hobbes was not merely wrong—he had it exactly backwards.
