All societies must deal with the possibility of violence, and they do so in different ways. This book integrates the problem of violence into a larger social science and historical framework, showing how economic and political behavior are closely linked. Most societies, which we call natural states, limit violence by political manipulation of the economy to create privileged interests. These privileges limit the use of violence by powerful individuals, but doing so hinders both economic and political development. In contrast, modern societies create open access to economic and political organizations, fostering political and economic competition. The book provides a framework for understanding the two types of social orders, why open access societies are both politically and economically more developed, and how some 25 countries have made the transition between the two types.
This book is wildly seen a very important and innovative work in the field of comparative politics. According to the title of this book, the authors try to develop a general theoretical framework to explain the logic and change of social order of the whole ...
评分读的时候就感到有种奇怪的味道,说不出来。看到http://book.douban.com/review/6341166/后豁然开朗。 总结下来:本书信息量大、有历史学功底,比《国家为什么失败》更精致、更富有建设性。然而仍然过分简化了复杂的历史现实,只有单调而贫瘠的类型学,而缺乏更进一步的谱系学...

评分毕竟是经济学家,欠缺历史素养
评分一本三位美国学者的巨作,新制度经济学必读读物。本书力图建立一个全面解释社会政治经济活动的理论体系,解释政治和经济关系的一部分本质。它采用简单明了的分类和定义,让读者轻松理解其理论精华。看完此书,读者定能加深对中国今天的政治经济现状的理解,并作出对未来大趋势的预判。
评分书中作者自创了大量概念,使开篇第一章的理论部分较为晦涩。全书试图构建的从“有限进入”到“公开进入”的社会秩序转变陷入了对两种秩序的描述,而对真正的秩序转型描述并不清晰。作者的理论基本由英、美、法三个国家的政治发展史提炼出来的,以至于应用到其他国家时难免显得生硬。不过书里强调了组织在社会发展中的作用,是North对先前研究的一个重要补充。
