# The 10 Rules of Successful Nations - Hardcover

by **Ruchir Sharma** (Author)

A wake-up call to economists who failed to foresee every recent crisis, including the cataclysm of 2008, _The 10 Rules of Successful Nations_ is a slim primer full of pioneering insights on the political, economic, and social habits of successful nations.

Distilled from Sharma's quarter century traveling the world as a writer and investor, his rules challenge conventional textbook thinking on what matters--and what doesn't--for a strong economy. He shows why successful nations embrace robots and immigrants, prefer democratic leaders to autocrats, elect charismatic reformers over technocrats, and pay no mind to the debate about big versus small government. He explains why rising stock prices matter as much or more than food prices, which measure of debt is the best predictor of economic crises, and why no one number can accurately capture the value of a currency. He also demonstrates how a close reading of the _Forbes_ billionaire lists can offer the clearest real-time warning of populist revolts against the wealthy.

Updated with brand-new data, _10 Rules_ reimagines economics as a practical art, giving general readers as well as political and business leaders a quick guide to the most important forces that shape a nation's future.
