Conjecture
Inclusion is not a ratchet. Venice "appeared to have been on the brink of becoming the world's first inclusive society", fell to a coup by its own elite, and went "from economic powerhouse to museum". Acemoglu and Robinson draw the general lesson: "The fact that inclusive institutions can go into reverse shows that there is no simple cumulative process of institutional improvement." An inclusive collective that has been inclusive for a while has earned no protection from that. Inference beyond the quotes is Leo's.
Feeds: success is a corridor kept, not reached. SUPPORTS it with the cleanest historical reversal in the book.
