An Inquiry into Successful Economic Models David Mesa Noack

What makes a country successful? Which policies offer the best results for its inhabitants? Which characteristics do the successful countries share across the world, beyond cultural differences? Does Latin America follow any of these policies? What can we do to improve the economy of poor countries? Is it a cultural issue? Can Latin America achieve the same results? This is an invitation to analyze these questions from a more complex perspective, tracing nation's history and fundamental milestones from each political-economic model, doing so in a straightforward and casual way, portraying each country's characteristics, and finding valuable results based on the enormous amount of statistics currently available. Norway, Australia, Switzerland, Germany, Singapore, Denmark, Ireland, Canada, South Korea and Finland have remarkable and compelling stories ready to be shared, full of lessons for readers with any political view. The collection of cultures represented in this work calls for an open-minded reading, challenging many of our beliefs.
