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.

目录信息

Contents
Preface
Why Egyptians filled Tahrir Square to bring down Hosni Mubarak and what it means for our understanding of the causes of prosperity and poverty
1. So Close and Yet So Different
Nogales, Arizona, and Nogales, Sonora, have the same people, culture, and geography. Why is one rich and one poor?
2. Theories That Don't Work
Poor countries are poor not because of their geographies or cultures, or because their leaders do not know which policies will enrich their citizens
3. The Making of Prosperity and Poverty
How prosperity and poverty are determined by the incentives created by institutions, and how politics determines what institutions a nation has
4. Small Differences and Critical Junctures: The Weight of History
How institutions change through political conflict and how the past shapes the present
5. "I've Seen the Future, and It Works": Growth Under Extractive Institutions
What Stalin, King Shyaam, the Neolithic Revolution, and the Maya city-states all had in common and how this explains why China?s current economic growth cannot last
6. Drifting Apart
How institutions evolve over time, often slowly drifting apart
7. The Turning Point
How a political revolution in 1688 changed institutions in England and led to the Industrial Revolution
8. Not on Our Turf: Barriers to Development
Why the politically powerful in many nations opposed the Industrial Revolution
9. Reversing Development
How European colonialism impoverished large parts of the world
10. The Diffusion of Prosperity
How some parts of the world took different paths to prosperity from that of Britain
11. The Virtuous Circle
How institutions that encourage prosperity create positive feedback loops that prevent the efforts by elites to undermine them
12. The Vicious Circle
How institutions that create poverty generate negative feedback loops and endure
13. Why Nations Fail Today
Institutions, institutions, institutions
14. Breaking the Mold
How a few countries changed their economic trajectory by changing their institutions

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...

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...

若非相关专业研究,这本书首先不推荐读全本,看下关键章节的论断性语句强化记忆即可,其余皆是作者用于论证其观点的例子。当然,本书的精髓就在于这些纵横穿插古今中外,汪洋恣肆滚滚而来的经典实例,涉及到大量非英语名词,看起来略吃力,故作如是观。 作者开头以美国和墨西...

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...

Disappointed because the authors mention inclusive vs. extractive institutions so many times without explaining exactly what they are like. God lives in details!

Inclusive/extractive

课本XD

对inclusive/extractive的定义不清,有循环论证之感。对国家成功失败的定义过于单一、归因过于简单。由经济学家来讲历史感觉略牵强,证据比较散。

评分

四星献给它的厚度!来回来去来回来去来回来去地说几个既不深刻也不新颖还以偏概全的观点。。。不过通过阅读此书我增长了一些亚非拉历史和地理姿势
