Yeah. The book has some great insights around institutions. My notes from the book https://ashishb.net/book-summary/book-summary-why-nations-fail/ https://ashis

  Thanks for the notes, they made interesting reading on their own. Was there any discussion of military tradition? Something interesting I note in the major Anglosphere democracies is that the military just don't get overtly involved in politics.

    Iirc there wasn't. I think it is mostly about strong institutions that keep military in check.

    I'm not sure if this is a cause for successful democracy or rather a sign of a successful democracy.
