Review

"'You will have three reasons to love this book. It's about national income differences within the modern world, perhaps the biggest problem facing the world today. It's peppered with fascinating stories that will make you a spellbinder at cocktail parties - such as why Botswana is prospering and Sierra Leone isn't. And it's a great read. Like me, you may succumb to reading it in one go, and then you may come back to it again and again.'

(Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-prize-winning author of bestselling books including 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' and 'Collapse')"

Product Description

This is a provocative new theory of political economy explaining why the world is divided into nations with wildly differing levels of prosperity. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? "Why Nations Fail" sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace. Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty. They offer a pragmatic basis for the hope that at 'critical junctures' in history, those mired in poverty can be placed on the path to prosperity - with important consequences for our views on everything from the role of aid to the future of China.

知道这本书是在一次经济法研讨课上,出于好奇泛泛试读了一遍。全书论据庞杂繁复,如果仔细推敲不一定都站得住脚。但也正是由于作者的旁征博引,书中闪光之点频现。假如我是一位生活在作者国度亦或接受英美文化教育的读者,我想这本书带来的冲击力的的确确让人无力反驳又感受到...

讲的不错,但内容也没有很新鲜。反驳了一些其他的理论,然后证明影响国家发展最重要的因素是制度机构。 下面对每章内容粗率的总结下(未完成) Preface Why Egyptians filled Tahrir Square to bring down Hosni Mubarak and what it means for our understanding of the ca...

吐槽太多,论证不够。

讲非洲的部分觉得写得很好,有不少启发,但是就唯一稍微熟悉一点的中国与日本的情况来说,还是觉得也许过于简单化——中国弱日本强,岂是明治维新成功这么轻飘飘的原因能够解释的

评分

The inclusive institution argument is like doctors trying to confront many different illnesses with only one diagnosis. The image of institutions being decisive in development is misleading and contrary to experience, and the narrow focus on institutions offers insufficient predictive help.
