In this title, two renowned political scientists make the contrarian, research-based case that - regardless of any other factors political scientists or historians may find relevant - the calculations and actions of rulers are the driving force of all politics, and the primary goal of rulers is to maintain power as long as possible. In this clever and accessible book, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith introduce us to their perspective of the political world. They bare the logic of politics, starting from the simple premise that leaders pursue their own ends, and that populations either have, or more often don't have, the power to constrain them to a significant degree. The book is organized by a series interconnected questions, among them: Why do leaders who wreck their countries keep their jobs for so long? Why do autocracies have dismal economic policies? How are there so many suffering people in resource-rich lands? Why do 'natural disasters' disproportionately strike poor nations? Why do 'evil-doers' so often collect loads of foreign aid? Why are democracies so good at war? In answering these questions, the authors look at politics, the choices of public policies, and even decisions about war and peace as lying outside of conventional thinking about culture and history. They set aside ideas of civic virtue and psychopathology. Such notions simply are not central to understanding what leaders do and why they do it. Instead, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith see politicians as self-interested louts, just the sort of people you wouldn't want to have over for dinner, but without whom you might not have dinner at all. And from this perspective, they are able to answer some perplexing mysteries of politics, shed light on what we read in the newspapers every single day, and offer realistic ways of improving human governance.

用戶評價
這本書告訴我，如果我實在無法移民到發達國傢，我可以考慮移民到一個不那麼發達的民主國傢，但是動作要快，因為他們發達的速度都驚人，時不我待。還有這場“反復”運動的主要目的是減少製勝聯盟的人數，同時所有的其他政策都在指嚮更為“獨菜”的方嚮，也就是說，如果成功，將是更加暗無天日的世界，而失敗幾乎隻能期待經濟崩潰，也絕對是大多數人的損失。另外，美國不需要一個“閩豬”的瓷器，更符閤他們利益的是一個聽話的獨裁政府。
评分今年讀的最後一本書，和 why nation fails相得益彰。一個是講政治，一個講經濟，其實說的都是同一件事。以前拿起the logic of political survival，結果沒看下去，模型有點太復雜，這本確實非常容易讀。
评分《傲嬌小獨裁養成手冊》 （於是我上瞭這課的最大感受就是卡紮菲年輕時很萌……麼）
评分獲取控製權並保持住，政治的首要目的。抓住少數關鍵人物的支持並使得這些支持者處於忠誠，需要高超的手段控製實際結盟者的數目，人數小到隨時可以替換，大數到可以完全控製。而名義結盟者，越多越好。政治是少數人的遊戲，這個遊戲的風險和收益巨大，而博弈的結果並不會一定導嚮經濟效率高的均衡或是居民普惠的政策。政治人物首先迎閤的便是結盟者，而居民始終是最後一位，盡管名義上是第一位。善治依賴於大的權力聯盟，即長官不能通過贏取少數人的支持保持領導位置。
评分非常好的政治學科普書。主要強調三點，一是實證性(相對於規範性)，二是方法論個人主義，三是政治聯盟的組成和維持。讀這本入門既避免瞭“天下烏鴉一般黑”的虛無主義病，也不會陷入過於moralistic地看政治。這本中文引進版恐怕少不瞭刪減。
