For instance, how the British rule has adversely impacted the prosperity of South Asia.</div>

<div>In its review, Guardian says that the work of Nobelists Daron Acemoglu and Simon Johnson shows us "how technology — ultimately the source of 85 percent of new wealth — can be used for human betterment."  Times (London) says that the work discusses whether technology "will threaten social stability by increasing inequality and undermining democracy."</div>
