This is a landmark book on the impact of property rights on European economic development. Published over a quarter of a century ago, its stated goal is "... to suggest new paths for the study of European economic history rather than ... either [a detailed and exhaustive study or a precise empirical test that are the] ... standard formats" (p. vii). North and Thomas attempt to identify the elements that allowed the Western European economy to rise to affluence. Their argument is made transparent in Chapter One (Theory and Overview): the key to growth was and is an efficient economic system. Efficient in the sense that the system of property rights gives individuals incentives to innovate and produce, and, conversely inhibits those activities (rent-seeking, theft, arbitrary confiscation and/or excessive taxation) that reduce individual incentives. They argue that property rights are classic public goods because: (1) once a more efficient set of property rights is discovered the marginal cost of copying it is low (compared to the cost of discovering and developing it); (2) it is prohibitively expensive to prevent other political jurisdictions from emulating a more efficient set of property rights regardless of whether they contributed to their construction; (3) and finally, the idea of a set of property rights, like all ideas, is non-rival -- we can all consume the same idea and the "stock" of the idea is not diminished. These public good aspects lead them to conclude that there may be under investment in the attempts to create more efficient sets of property rights because the jurisdiction that invests in the development of property rights pays the entire cost of their development but receives only benefits that accrue to its jurisdiction, while other jurisdictions can get the benefits without any of the developmental costs. Thus, the problems of public goods and the "free riders."

如果没有海外殖民地的扩张,欧洲的民族国家运动也只不过是千年军阀混战的继续。因为很明显的,当这种殖民运动在北美、东亚受阻,同时因为各殖民国在殖民地争夺中互相照面的时候,譬如德、日与英、法的矛盾,就再次爆发了欧洲内战(即一战),这导致了苏俄的出现(之前的...

這傢夥喜歡跑題。對每個國傢和時期論述時的重點與史料都使用不均,敘述中也不易分清這是曆史現象還是ideally根據經濟模型應該有的樣子。很重要的土地私有化可流轉的史實基本隻給瞭十三世紀英國的。對於最重要的論點:交易成本的降低,在荷蘭隻講到其然,未見最重要的所以然(為什麼在法國和西班牙就實現不瞭)。同樣解釋瞭西班牙卻解釋不瞭更復雜的北意大利。總體的論點是很整齊的。

經濟增長來源於自由的市場,和恰當的法製。政府都有短視的傾嚮,必須限製政府權力。
