Critic 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”
