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.

小学时老师就教导我们写文章黄金法则第一条就是搞清楚读者是谁。A&R这本书的读者究竟是有扎实的经济学基础的学者,还是没学过经济学却有求知欲的普罗大众,还是好奇的高中生,我想他们自己也未必清楚,这必然导致了不同类型的读者对本书截然不同的评价。 有政治经济学基础的人...

不敢说是书评,笔记已经记完了,这篇就算是我的读后感吧。网上捧此书的较多,也有不少批评意见。我想这可能是源于读者对此书的定位不同所致,对我而言:这是一本知识普及书,而非学术书藉,因为它即既缺乏学术性的创新又缺乏学界应有的严谨,但是倘若把它当作知识普及书,则可...

通不过,可能与一种花的名字有关。 这篇是我们“翻书党人”的月课,刊于我的腾讯【大家】专栏。 我在《一个翻书党人的年度小结2012》中就已经提到过这本书,1111项目的读者在之前就已经读到我这篇了。 请移步阅读:http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_49275b420102efkv.html

非虚构类,多细节,总有一点你所不知道的。关于版本选择问题,我自己打印的台版无删节版,这个版本也是众多网友共同努力制作而成的,在此向那些热心网友表示感谢。中文版肯定有删节,比如,第一章讲的是阿拉伯之春,估计肯定要被和谐。关于英语原版,我推荐将mobi格式转化成wor...

作者是MIT的经济学家和哈佛的政治学家,挺厚一本,刚拿到手的时候肃然起敬。结果翻看了没两个晚上感觉这书纯粹是文人思维啊。再上网看看书评,除了Tomas Friedman 这个老实人没说什么坏话之外,很多人指出此书的各种失误和错误。果断放弃。
