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.

評分 評分一本三位美國學者的巨作,新製度經濟學必讀讀物。本書力圖建立一個全麵解釋社會政治經濟活動的理論體係,解釋政治和經濟關係的一部分本質。它采用簡單明瞭的分類和定義,讓讀者輕鬆理解其理論精華。看完此書,讀者定能加深對中國今天的政治經濟現狀的理解,並作齣對未來大趨勢的預判。
评分書中作者自創瞭大量概念,使開篇第一章的理論部分較為晦澀。全書試圖構建的從“有限進入”到“公開進入”的社會秩序轉變陷入瞭對兩種秩序的描述,而對真正的秩序轉型描述並不清晰。作者的理論基本由英、美、法三個國傢的政治發展史提煉齣來的,以至於應用到其他國傢時難免顯得生硬。不過書裏強調瞭組織在社會發展中的作用,是North對先前研究的一個重要補充。

评分閤宿時讀的書,諾斯的理論歸根到底隻適用於歐美國傢,而且估計作者是經濟學傢的原因,個人覺得他對19世紀以前各國的政治製度與社會背景分析的不夠。
