Abstract: This literature review covers recent works dealing with the ultimate causes of economic development. The article first considers the driving role of the rules of the social game. Then the focus shifts to the role of historical circumstances. Finally, we seek to understand how geography can influence development trajectories. These studies are multidisciplinary and use new databases. The results should not imply that there is a cultural, historical, or geographical determinism. That is, historical contingencies and economic policy decisions can foster lasting changes in development trajectories.
