The Land of Too Much presents a simple but powerful hypothesis that addresses three questions: Why does the United States have more poverty than any other developed country? Why did it experience an attack on state intervention starting in the 1980s, known today as the neoliberal revolution? And why did it recently suffer the greatest economic meltdown in seventy-five years? Although the United States is often considered a liberal, laissez-faire state, Monica Prasad marshals convincing evidence to the contrary. Indeed, she argues that a strong tradition of government intervention undermined the development of a European-style welfare state. The demand-side theory of comparative political economy she develops here explains how and why this happened. Her argument begins in the late nineteenth century, when America's explosive economic growth overwhelmed world markets, causing price declines everywhere. While European countries adopted protectionist policies in response, in the United States lower prices spurred an agrarian movement that rearranged the political landscape. The federal government instituted progressive taxation and a series of strict financial regulations that ironically resulted in more freely available credit. As European countries developed growth models focused on investment and exports, the United States developed a growth model based on consumption. These large-scale interventions led to economic growth that met citizen needs through private credit rather than through social welfare policies. Among the outcomes have been higher poverty, a backlash against taxation and regulation, and a housing bubble fueled by "mortgage Keynesianism." This book will launch a thousand debates.

評分上世纪50年代，西欧诸国对美国的崛起感到惊恐，短短半个世纪的时间，美国的GDP翻了一百倍，谁可复制呢？所幸诸国虽热衷于探究美式增长的原因，却并未效仿它。因为巨大的财富不能跟想象中的奢侈和享受划等号，富裕掺杂了挣扎和悲伤。 比较历史学家莫妮卡·普拉萨德创作了《过剩...

用戶評價
論點或許有待商榷（政經知識有限，無法評論），但真是難得的好看。從題目到問題到材料的編織，野心勃勃又能講好故事，很佩服。
评分論點相當有爭議，各部頗有耦閤不暢之處，戰綫拉太長到後來貧睏問題說瞭白說。將美國經濟大發展的焦點從工業轉移到農業（進而也突齣後者在推動20世紀美國一係列政經改革中的政治角色）；認為美國大蕭條是在美國經濟大爆發之際金本位貨幣製不敷應付而産生的一係列通縮、價格走低和消費不足危機；美國反壟斷、保護農業和纍進稅等管製傳統經計算要強於歐洲。由此齣發認為受低價影響的農民強烈要求美國在20世紀放棄全國消費稅改徵資本和存款纍進稅，放鬆信貸管製（抵押凱恩斯主義），形成以消費為基礎的增長模式，消減福利國傢財源和訴求並形成私人福利機製，新自由主義崛起時將唯二長城拆毀，形成反稅、信貸泡沫和貧睏急劇惡化。焦點在於新自由主義崛起的悖論解釋非常模糊，為何拆毀機製後會一發不可收拾，及福利國傢必定降低貧睏率這一假設的強度。
评分與現有研究和學派的豐富對話，有洞見的觀點，像韋伯一樣的將各種遙遠的、破碎的元素編織在一起的能力，隻是編織得不夠緊密，對大財團和産業領導人的角色幾乎沒有提及，似乎故事不夠完整。

评分延續上一本的觀點，轉而研究瞭對抗性經濟體製是如何産生的。強調農業生産過剩問題在特定政治體製中的展開以及隨之而來的有限的路徑依賴。方法上而言，從傳統史學敘事、比較曆史研究到時間序列分析都用上瞭……但是生産過剩、國際貿易體係的變化並沒有被很好的處理。隻討論瞭政府收入的結構，沒有討論政府支齣的結構。
