Brilliant and engagingly written, Why Nations Fail answers the question that has stumped the experts for centuries: Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine?
Is it culture, the weather, geography? Perhaps ignorance of what the right policies are?
Simply, no. None of these factors is either definitive or destiny. Otherwise, how to explain why Botswana has become one of the fastest growing countries in the world, while other African nations, such as Zimbabwe, the Congo, and Sierra Leone, are mired in poverty and violence?
Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or lack of it). Korea, to take just one of their fascinating examples, is a remarkably homogeneous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The south forged a society that created incentives, rewarded innovation, and allowed everyone to participate in economic opportunities. The economic success thus spurred was sustained because the government became accountable and responsive to citizens and the great mass of people. Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories.
Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including:
- China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed andoverwhelm the West?
- Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority?
- What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More
philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions?
Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.
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...

评分若非相关专业研究,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...
评分我为了这本书思考了很久,然后在网上看了一篇,能解释我的疑惑,特地来豆瓣注册账号发表一下,文章转自方绍伟同志。 从制度方面探寻经济发展的原因,一直是近几十年来西方学术界的一个热门话题。2012年3月,麻省理工学院的德隆·阿西莫格鲁教授与当时任教于哈佛大学的詹姆斯·...
(inclusive institutions & extractive institutions )其实就是近代史,Acemoglu分了 类,不觉得有这必要。
