What is economic growth? And why, historically, has it occurred in only a few places? Previous efforts to answer these questions have focused on institutions, geography, finances, and psychology.

A Era da Informação, que mudou radicalmente nosso dia a dia, provocou também alterações enormes nas guerras, tanto nas declaradas quanto naquelas que se desenrolam nas cidades violentas. A comunicação se tornou rápida e eficiente, e se isso vale para as forças da lei vale também para os que vivem à margem da lei, criando, às vezes, um estado paralelo dentro do Estado.
