Daron Acemoglu on Education - Dictionary of Arguments
Acemoglu I 78 Education/Acemoglu/Robinson: The low education level of poor countries is caused by economic institutions that fail to create incentives for parents to educate their children and by political institutions that fail to induce the government to build, finance, and support schools and the wishes of parents and children. The price these nations pay for low education of their population and lack of inclusive markets is high. >Prosperity/Acemoglu, >Institutions/Acemoglu, >Economic policies/Acemoglu._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
