The Conditions of Agricultural Growth pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
When it first appeared in 1965, The Conditions of Agricultural Growth heralded a breakthrough in the theory of agricultural development. Whereas 'development' had previously been seen as the transformation of traditional communities by the introduction (or imposition) of new technologies, Ester Boserup argued that changes and improvements occur from within agricultural communities, and that improvements are governed not only by outside interference, but by those communities themselves. Using extensive analyses of the costs and productivity of the main systems of traditional agriculture, Ester Boserup concludes that technical, economic and social changes are unlikely to take place unless the community concerned is exposed to the pressure of population growth. In sharp contrast to widely accepted ideas, she shows how population growth may be the main stimulus to agrarian change. In developing this theme, the author identifies successive stages of agriculture, characterized by differences in techniques of cultivation and in social structure and show how they can be explained by differences in population density. This book is of relevance not only to economists, but also to historians interested in the way present changes in agrarian communities parallel those of the past.
Ester Boserup (May 18, 1910 – September 24, 1999), born Ester Børgesen in Copenhagen, was a Danish economist. She studied economic and agricultural development, worked at the United Nations as well as other international organizations, and she wrote several books. Her most notable book is The Conditions of Agricultural Growth: The Economics of Agrarian Change under Population Pressure.[1] This book presents a "dynamic analysis embracing all types of primitive agriculture." (Boserup, E. 1965. p 13) The work challenges the assumption dating back to Malthus’s time (and still held in many quarters) that agricultural methods determine population (via food supply). Instead, Boserup argued that population determines agricultural methods. A major point of her book is that "necessity is the mother of invention". It was her great belief that humanity would always find a way and was quoted in saying "The power of ingenuity would always outmatch that of demand" in a letter to Northern Irish philosopher T.S Hueston. She also influenced the debate on the role of women in workforce and human development, and the possibility of better opportunities of work and education for women.
雖然薩林斯提齣瞭反對材料,但還是很可敬的研究瞭,相當精彩的演繹
評分提齣不同於馬氏人口學的框架去理解人口增長和農業經濟關係。認為其隻看到人口增長構成食物壓力,忽視其促使農業模式從刀耕火種嚮密集輪耕乃至無休耕作過渡,促進農具發展和社會分工。中間或造成單位勞力産齣下降(集中人力進行水利和製具等基礎投資,熟練新法需時),促使農業人口嚮城市流動,産生食品價格和就業壓力,是政治社會不安多發期;但密耕深耕成熟後農業效率提高,城市的集聚效應也得以更好發揮。歐洲學者們以歐洲為中心,推想刀耕火種效率低,不顧模式更替規律,強行在落後地區推廣先進農具技術,忽略特殊社會文化下的農耕態度,且過早打破原先較高的勞力産齣,得不償失。此視角下拉美依賴性發展或可理解為農業過早集中於經濟作物,大量農村人口流到城市,導緻農村缺乏勞力實現農業模式轉換和農具推廣的經濟價值,城市不堪重負,淪為齣口奴隸
