Przeworski was a member of the September Group of Analytical Marxists, but left the group in the early 1990s.
The quest for freedom from hunger and repression has triggered in recent years a dramatic, worldwide reform of political and economic systems. Never have so many people enjoyed, or at least experimented with democratic institutions. However, many strategies for economic development in Eastern Europe and Latin America have failed with the result that entire economic systems on both continents are being transformed. This major book analyzes recent transitions to democracy and market-oriented economic reforms in Eastern Europe and Latin America. Drawing in a quite distinctive way on models derived from political philosophy, economics, and game theory, Professor Przeworski also considers specific data on individual countries. Among the questions raised by the book are: What should we expect from these experiments in democracy and market economy? What new economic systems will emerge? Will these transitions result in new democracies or old dictatorships?
转型的民主与理想 ——读《民主与市场》 文/程明 政治民主化和经济自由化是20世纪两股世界潮流。 1915年孙中山先生在广东省海宁视察时说:“世界潮流、浩浩荡荡、顺之者昌、逆之者亡。”1840年鸦片战争后,在“冲击—回应”模式下,迫使中国逐步走向近代化。从洋务运...
評分 評分经过几个深夜和几个晚上断断续续的阅读,终于把普沃斯基的经典作品《民主与市场》,知道这本书还是在去年三月底面试时在旁听徐湘林老师的课上,当时老师极力向大家推荐这本书,原因忘了,但当时我就记住了这本书和这位作者,以后每学期都曾借过,但都没有看,直到这学期第...

评分這書很短,一個下午就能翻完瞭,拿來打發時間也是很好的。思路和框架都極其清晰,順著這本書再去看東歐劇變,很有意思的,因為很像的。我時常在想,有些弱點,是不是inherently generated by communism/socialism?

评分5星。我覺得第一章比較有意思,是個重要的問題。為什麼敗選的人會願意認輸而不是推翻民主製度?這是為什麼公平的選舉和經濟錶現好的民主國傢更可能保存下來民主製度。作者告訴我就看看第一章和第三章好瞭,第三章確實也蠻有趣的。作者最後用一句話來評價社會主義和資本主義的話就是:Capitalism is irrational; socialism is unfeasible. 一針見血。
评分excellent!
