Foundations of Economic Prosperity by Daniel W. Drezner



 Foundations of Economic Prosperity by Daniel W. Drezner describes how to do well economically on both a personal and professional level.  According to the speaker the path to prosperity differs from the developing world and the developed world.  In the developed world it is education and entrepreneurship.   In the developing world one path is to earn money in another country and send it back.  

I found the book to be very informative.  It is helpful in predicting the likelihood of specific  organizational structures prone to corruption.  This information applies to schools, politics and countries.  Autocratic governments representing a minority group are more likely to go to war when domestic problems occur at home because they do not owe their power to the people but a much smaller group - examples: Saddam Hussein's Iraq or Assad's Syria.
