BackgroundDecisions seems to be the key not only to software and product design but to the prosperity of the whole nations. Why poor nations "get it wrong" was the questions that Robinson and Acemoğlu asked to explain the world inequality. They realised that economics needs "to understand how different types of policies and social arrangements affect economic incentives and behaviour". Meaning that economics cannot assume that political problems are solved (2013: 68-69).Marc Anderson, an investor with larger returns from investment in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Oculus VR (both sold to Facebook) and Skype (Forbes, 2016), has famously wrote an open editorial in the The Wall Street Journal in August 2011, claiming that software is eating the world (Wikipedia, 2016).
