STICERD book launch public discussion
This new book combines the tools of modern political economics with a bird's-eye view of the data, to explain development clusters, i.e. why some places that enjoy effective state institutions, the absence of political violence, and high incomes while others are plagued by poverty, violence, and low state capacity. The authors place the creation of cohesive state institutions at the heart of their understanding of these issues. They also discuss policy responses by the international community.
This event celebrates the publication of Pillars of Prosperity: The Political Economics of Development Clusters written by Tim Besley and Torsten Persson.

Torsten Persson holds the Torsten and Ragnar Söderberg Chair in Economic Sciences at IIES, Stockholm University, and a Centennial Professorship at the LSE. His research spans several fields, but he is most well-known for his articles and books on political economics.
