Conoscere la molteplicità delle traiettorie e delle biforcazioni della storia può infatti aiutarci a interrogare le fondamenta delle nostre istituzioni e a intuire le loro trasformazioni.

This book reveals the uncomfortable truth: America's AI leadership is an illusion. We have the best chatbots, but China is building 50 nuclear reactors to power AI data centers. We have startups, but China produces twice as many engineers. We celebrate "asset-light" models, but China manufactures autonomous robots and military drones at scale we cannot match. The AI race will be won by whoever controls energy, manufacturing, and talent—not algorithms.

In the last thirty years, the developing world has undergone tremendous changes. Overall, poverty has fallen, people live longer and healthier lives, and economies have been transformed. And yet many countries have simply missed the boat. Why have some countries prospered, while others have failed?
