Ask HN: Books to learn about how countries become wealthy

1 points by arunsivadasan ↗ HN
I wanted to learn the factors that drive the wealth of nations or regions. The question I am trying to understand is this: What drives growth? Is it economic policies or changes in markets/trade patterns or discoveries of natural resources? Can countries become wealthy in spite of adverse market/trade conditions?
