图书描述

Why does the West rule? In this magnum opus, eminent Stanford polymath Ian Morris answers this provocative question, drawing on 50,000 years of history, archeology, and the methods of social science, to make sense of when, how, and why the paths of development differed in the East and West — and what this portends for the 21st century.

There are two broad schools of thought on why the West rules. Proponents of "Long-Term Lock-In" theories such as Jared Diamond suggest that from time immemorial, some critical factor— geography, climate, or culture perhaps — made East and West unalterably different, and determined that the industrial revolution would happen in the West and push it further ahead of the East. But the East led the West between 500 and 1600, so this development can't have been inevitable; and so proponents of "Short-Term Accident" theories argue that Western rule was a temporary aberration that is now coming to an end, with Japan, China, and India resuming their rightful places on the world stage. However, as the West led for 9,000 of the previous 10,000 years, it wasn't just a temporary aberration. So, if we want to know why the West rules, we need a whole new theory. Ian Morris, boldly entering the turf of Jared Diamond and Niall Ferguson, provides the broader approach that is necessary, combining the textual historian's focus on context, the anthropological archaeologist's awareness of the deep past, and the social scientist's comparative methods to make sense of the past, present, and future— in a way no one has ever done before.

历史学家想用数据说话，他自己的指数（energy, organization, information, war）的heuristic 本身就有问题，而且测量标准不一，也都瞎估计，自己还承认有10%不超过20%的误差。唯一赞同的一句话是"..societies' abilities to get things done.. is the point of life"

评分☆☆☆☆☆

宏大视野，从人类的角度思考问题。

Blinkist扫过。感觉是一本有点啰嗦但可以去翻翻看看的书，虽然结论可能听上去有些老生常谈。衡量社会发展指数：“energy capture, urbanism, information processing,capacity to wage war”还是有主观的成分。地理和气候的影响也不算太新鲜。"人在生物学、社会学意义上并无区别，只是地理上的差异决定了东西方文明出现的早晚、发展的快慢和成长路径的不同。然而，文明的演进存在相同的模式，其中最重要的是中心——边缘的互动关系，正是它推动社会发展的螺旋式上升。"

评分☆☆☆☆☆

有细菌枪炮与钢铁珠玉在前，此书地位难免要低一点，但是仍然值得好好读。写得太长，陆陆续续用了我好几个月时间才看完，减一个星。

很怪异的一本世界史。。。地理决定论的典型。。
