This is a simple and concise factual explanation of why nations fail and I totally agree with it. Thank you Mr Robinson and BIG BRAINS. Although I must add that outside of this submissions by the authors, there are some deliberate efforts by some powerful imperialist and hegemones who internationally want to deter the development of some countries who aspire to have good institutions albeit ON THEIR OWN TERMS without interference however, fearing that their political and economic liberation is a threat to their economic, political and military dominance the imperialist and the hegemonic cables deliberately thwart their progress.

The question is: IS there a chance to all nations to be successful, or the successful nations to keep her success has to keep other nations unsuccessful by control their sources or have a big influence in their culture , i believe that the increased cap in technology between nations reduced the chance to any unsuccessful nation to recover or change the current status

More neo-Liberal economic rhetoric. Robinson claims that the failure of Nogales, Mexico is dew to its lack of political competition and democracy. Therefore, by implication, the success of Nogales, US is the consequence of political competition and democracy. The problem is the US has neither political competition nor democracy. Consequently, Robinson’s premise is faults. Hence, his conclusion is meaningless. Robinson's neo-Liberalism makes unacceptable, even unspeakable, the obvious difference: Imperialism. The US is an Imperial power. Mexico is not. End of story.
