In his book, The Bottom Billion, Collier explores the reasons why poor countries fail to progress despite international aid and support. By his count, there are just fewer than 60 economies whose residents have experienced little, if any, income growth over the 1980s and 1990s. These countries are home to almost 1 billion people, who constitute this ‘Bottom Billion’. He contends that the Bottom Billion countries typically suffer from one or more, what he calls, “development traps” that hinder a…
to have a logistical population growth. Visually, the data and trend line of the graph create an S-shaped curve, which is the shape of a logistical population growth. A logistical population growth is a population growth that initially occurs at a constant rate of increase over time, but then levels out as the carrying capacity of the environment is approached. For 10 days the population increases at a steady rate. However, after day 10 the rate of population growth relatively decreases to zero…

be difficult to parse out the effects of institutions when they have taken so long to evolve over time (e.g. Europe, China, etc.), but when the exogenous force of colonialism invaded, the difference in institutional development and future economic growth was stark. It is obvious to see that Spain set up extractive institutions in their American colonies and that England set up settler colonies which were far more likely to develop inclusive institutions; but, Why Nations Fail, broadens the scope…
