About the book: "Here" is a hypothetical place where governance is poor and corruption is rife. "Denmark" is another hypothetical place where the opposite holds true. There is no easy road map for the journey from Here to Denmark. Each society will have to find its own way. But the experiences of several countries point to a common lesson: the overriding importance of human capital and an empowered citizenry which can actively participate in the affairs of their society in building strong institutions.
