VIDEO: What Causes the Poverty Of Nations?

The Acton Institute recently had the privilege of hosting theologian Wayne Grudem and economist Barry Asmus, who spoke together on the topic of their book, The Poverty of Nations: A Sustainable Solution.

The title nods to Adam Smith’s classic The Wealth of Nations, which inquired into what factors led certain nations to prosper. Grudmen and Asmus’s book looks at the flip side of that question: What causes some nations to remain mired in poverty, and what might they do to change their circumstances?
