具體描述
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>

讀後感
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...
評分1、 在我固有的书单里，应该不会出现这样一本书，即便它的名字叫《应该读点经济史》。 对于这类略带强势的标题我一般都敬而远之，比如你必须知道的＊＊一类书，我会想我不知道的时候过得也挺好；另外，对于经济学一类的书，我很少有勇气拿起来看。 在我读大学的时候，有相当长...
評分看过英文原版了。台湾繁体字版翻译为《告別施捨：世界經濟簡史》（A Farewell to Alms）。网上已经有不少评论了。 这书里都是作者自己的逻辑和论证。 http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4af8e74101008fdl.html http://www.strongwind.com.hk/article.aspx?id=7218
評分对经济类图书的读者来说，2009年可选择的书不多。郎咸平说系列图书几乎要与粗制图书画上等号：夸张演讲式文字、多篇文章扩充成书，观点在多部著作中重复挪用。2008年经济类图书明星作者韩秀云的新书也在缺乏创新型观点、缺乏系统性中被渐次遗忘，更重要的是《金融危机与我何干...

评分算是對我的經濟史開濛吧。感覺作者把主觀點在導言裏就差不多說完瞭，整本書都是佐證。
评分A stirring book with bold pronouncement and weak evidence.
