Summary

"In his new edition of Prosperity and Violence, Robert Bates continues to investigate the relationship between political order and economic growth. As power and politics play a role in every society, rich or poor, Bates argues it is the reorganization of coercion - not its extinction - that underpins the security needed for investment."--BOOK JACKET.
