“Lack of entitlement drives small nation’s success: they expect to adapt to outside forces, so they do.”
R. James Breiding, Too Small to Fail: Why Small Nations Outperform Larger Ones and How They Are Reshaping the World

“The cost of conflict almost always outweigh the benefit of what is being fought over.”

“Widespread distrust imposes a kind of tax on all forms of economic activity It constricts and raises the cost of transactions.”

“The cost of conflict almost always outweigh the benefit of what is being fought over.”

“Much of the current debate focuses not on success but on failure. There is a shelf-load of books discussing flawed states such as ‘Why Nations Fail?â€�, ‘Is Democracy Dying?â€� and ‘What’s Killing Liberalism?â€�. But as Harvard University’s Steven Pinker reminds us, ‘There are so many more ways for things to go wrong than to go rightâ€�, making success far more valuable to explain than failure.



Have we not heard enough about failure? After all, history shows that unlike lotteries, progress is usually a matter of finding something which works and reverse-engineering it.”
