How Nations Win

di Henrik Ekelund (Autore)

Matt Holt Books, 2027

Why is growth slowing—and what will it take to restore rising prosperity? Across rich, middle-income, and developing countries, growth is losing momentum. Aging populations, heavy debt, weak productivity, protectionism, and political polarization are testing the foundations of rising living standards. In How Nations Win, entrepreneur and investor Henrik Ekelund draws on economic history and business experience to offer a clear framework for understanding what makes prosperity last: three essential forces, supported by twelve interconnected drivers. Together, they explain how democracy, free markets, the rule of law, economic stability, entrepreneurship, innovation, and finance can set a virtuous cycle of investment, productivity, and rising incomes in motion. The framework also shows how that cycle can falter—from cronyism and excessive debt to protectionism, authoritarianism, and misguided policy. Instead of asking only why some nations grew rich, Ekelund tackles the urgent question: how can countries get growth moving again? Readers will discover how to: Recognize the twelve drivers of durable growth—and where a country is falling short Understand why “twin nations” can follow very different economic paths See how entrepreneurs, investors, and competitive markets turn ideas into broad prosperity Assess threats to growth, from too weak or bossy governments to protectionism and overly regulated markets Written for curious readers who want the insight without the long runway, How Nations Win brings big economic questions to life through stories, examples, and a practical model. Whether you shape business strategy, allocate capital, make policy, or simply want to understand the forces shaping the coming decades, this book offers a sharper way to see what strengthens prosperity—and what puts it at risk. Growth is not a nation’s birthright, but decline is not inevitable. Nations can build a more prosperous future by restoring the foundations of freedom, order, and innovation.
