Countries that have what they call “inclusive” political governments - those extending political and property rights as broadly as possible, while enforcing laws and providing some public infrastructure - experience the greatest growth over the long run. Others have asserted that a lack of natural resources or technical expertise has prevented poor countries from creating self-sustaining economic growth.Įconomists Daron Acemoglu of MIT and James Robinson of Harvard University have another answer: Politics makes the difference. Some scholars, like Weber, have argued that religious or cultural differences create vastly different economic outcomes among countries. It is among the grandest topics in scholarship: Why do some nations, such as the United States, become wealthy and powerful, while others remain stuck in poverty?

Aided by the gravitating power of the dark component, ordinary matter was pulled into clumps, which later evolved into galaxies that spawned stars, planets and, in one case at least, life.Ī consensus has emerged that dark matter mostly consists of massive particles coughed out of the big bang. After the big bang that created the universe 13.7bn years ago, matter was spread smoothly through space. And its role in shaping the cosmos is crucial.

The simplest explanation is that some form of dark matter provides the necessary gravitationally binding. The astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed that within the clusters, galaxies mill around so fast that the clusters ought to fly apart. The first inkling that the universe is dominated by unseen material came from the observations of clusters of galaxies made in the 1930s.
