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.

Disappointed because the authors mention inclusive vs. extractive institutions so many times without explaining exactly what they are like. God lives in details!
評分Inclusive/extractive
評分講非洲的部分覺得寫得很好,有不少啓發,但是就唯一稍微熟悉一點的中國與日本的情況來說,還是覺得也許過於簡單化——中國弱日本強,豈是明治維新成功這麼輕飄飄的原因能夠解釋的
評分四星獻給它的厚度!來迴來去來迴來去來迴來去地說幾個既不深刻也不新穎還以偏概全的觀點。。。不過通過閱讀此書我增長瞭一些亞非拉曆史和地理姿勢

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...
評分通不过,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
評分 評分围绕本书主旨的争论其实至少早在英文原版成书前十年就开始了。正如很多评论都提到的,本书两位作者与长期合作伙伴 Simon Johnson (合称 AJR)2001年发表论文[1]以计量手段论证:制度是经济绩效的根本性决定因素,而纬度、气候、资源等则影响甚微。这就直接否定了认为地理等因...
評分不敢说是书评,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...
