The Wealth and Poverty of Nations pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
The history of nations is a history of haves and have-nots, and as we approach the millennium, the gap between rich and poor countries is widening. In this engrossing and important new work, eminent historian David Landes explores the complex, fascinating and often startling causes of the wealth and poverty of nations. The answers are found not only in the large forces at work in economies: geography, religion, the broad swings of politics, but also in the small surprising details. In Europe, the invention of spectacles doubled the working life of skilled craftsmen, and played a prominent role in the creation of articulated machines, and in China, the failure to adopt the clock fundamentally hindered economic development. The relief of poverty is vital to the survival of us all. As David Landes brilliantly shows, the key to future success lies in understanding the lessons the past has to teach us - lessons uniquely imparted in this groundbreaking and vital book which exemplifies narrative history at its best.
戴维·S·兰德斯,美国哈佛大学历史学和经济学教授,著有《时间的革命》和《摆脱束缚的普罗米修斯》等书。

评分这书欠缺逻辑。在内容上,更像一本历史书,但又欠缺严谨。 首先,用地理位置分析国家强大的原因至少于我是新鲜的。作者对于热带国家在地理方面相较于温带国家的劣势是能让人信服的,但问题是,难道在寒带就没有国家了,为什么只论述温带和热带? 然后,关于“西欧的气候条件...
评分 评分 评分一部世界经济史,最大的感悟就是中国曾经的衰败与其悠久的历史有很大的关系。长期以来的封建思想,似乎那种奴役的心态已经根深蒂固了,当有新事物出现的时候,没有形成强大的动力和突破力让它发展,而是一无既往的承受压迫,而且乐此不疲。自由,不管在思想上和行为上,都没有...
