Instead, as we discussed in chapter 4, history plays a major role through institutional drift that creates institutional differences, albeit sometimes small, which then get amplified when they interact with critical junctures. It is because these differences are often small that they can be reversed easily and are not necessarily the consequence of a simple cumulative process.
Adam Sevcik

Because of its fragility we can't speak only about snow ball effect but rather we must alzo discuss those random stimuls of momentum such as Black death.
