How to Make a Nation: A Monocle Guide

What characteristics and values define a country? Which countries are particularly successful in terms of education, economics, or culture? In this book, Monocle provides a global perspective on the distinct qualities of nations.

Monocle's books, published in collaboration with Gestalten, have taught you how to build a better life, business and home. Now, Monocle is raising the bar again by asking: how do you run a great country? They're not talking about might, muscle or nationalism — although you need a bit of a swagger every now and then. They are talking about a country that feels like a cohesive community, knows what to value and uses soft power, fine ambassadors and compelling cultural offerings to gently get its way in the world. At home, this country celebrates good education, well-designed institutions, and its people and their talents. 

How to Make a Nation: A Monocle Guide is a thought-provoking primer that informs and inspires. The best ideas don't need to be invented — they just need to be found and adopted. Let Monocle be your guide.
