图书描述

Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations.</p>

Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, and economy of effort-and adopt economic habits-hard work, rationality, and education.</p>

The problem, Clark says, is that only societies that have long histories of settlement and security seem to develop the cultural characteristics and effective workforces that enable economic growth. For the many societies that have not enjoyed long periods of stability, industrialization has not been a blessing. Clark also dissects the notion, championed by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs, and Steel, that natural endowments such as geography account for differences in the wealth of nations.</p>

A brilliant and sobering challenge to the idea that poor societies can be economically developed through outside intervention, A Farewell to Alms may change the way global economic history is understood.</p>

算是对我的经济史开蒙吧。感觉作者把主观点在导言里就差不多说完了，整本书都是佐证。

读到最后不禁汗颜，作者暗示经济增长的区别其实来源于work ethics和discipline。的确，在我有限的个人经验里，虽然经过高考洗礼，中国econ phd学生包括我的discipline确实整体弱于老外。

第一部分五星，对工业革命前马尔萨斯图景的极佳描绘，数据工作独到精妙，第二部分四星，数据价值同样高，分析稍欠，对竞争理论的拒斥有些草率，第三部分三星，理论相当进取，但比较单薄

评分☆☆☆☆☆

马尔萨斯陷阱。作者在收集数据方面很NB

这本书比《Why Nations Fail》听起来有说服力多了——我果然是老racist。但是不用说，racism永远都听起来都有post hoc症。比如说想想中国和印度吧。书里面20世纪初的中国工人懒惰，生产率低下，和印度一模一样，可是一转眼就成为了世界工厂。100年的时间，对书中假设的进化而言，实在是太短了。

终于看完了格里高利.克拉克的《a Farewell to Alms:a Brief Economic History of the World》，来这里谈谈自己的看法。看了一些评论，不少人在推荐这本书，这些人主要是专业的学者；不少人也在鄙视这本书，认为这本书没什么价值，就如我在豆瓣这里看到的。我要说的是，这本书...

* 尽管从人类起源至今，人类的技术水平有个很大提高，但人类生活水平的真正提高，是最近200年，工业革命以后的事。因为在这之前，人类无法摆脱“马尔萨斯陷阱”的制约，技术进步的结果，产生了更多的人口，结果人均收入水平，并没提高。换句话说，在克拉克看来，即使是1800...

或许经济学应该从历史学和生物学中或许灵感。经济现象应该可以由常识解释，到底有没有宏观经济学是个很严肃的问题，回头看看马克思的书，或许也会有新的启发。现代经济学，走在一个十字路口。因为建模高手们，现在没有很好的解释世界。无休止的宽松货币政策会有怎么样的结...
