Truly insightful and rewarding. The intellectual honesty and seriousness demonstrated in this book is breathtaking. Deserves a reread and note taking.
评分算是对我的经济史开蒙吧。感觉作者把主观点在导言里就差不多说完了,整本书都是佐证。
评分have the honor to take the class of the author, who is a kind and excellent professor!
评分天啊,我终于看完这本书了 ,历时太久我差点忘记前面的内容。总体来说,工业革命是人类经济史上的重大转折,由此摆脱了人口和生活水平负相关的马尔萨斯理论。有意思的是本书提出了很多理论,然后一一举例反驳。纵然我不一定记得全部,好歹以后看到一项理论不会盲目相信。 还有进化论选择的工业革命的人的性格,我觉得这个可以解释贫富国家间efficiency的部分差别。当然索托说了,这跟人无关,只跟产权制度相关。保留意见啊,因为我觉得都有关啊!!!!

Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations.</p>
Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, and economy of effort-and adopt economic habits-hard work, rationality, and education.</p>
The problem, Clark says, is that only societies that have long histories of settlement and security seem to develop the cultural characteristics and effective workforces that enable economic growth. For the many societies that have not enjoyed long periods of stability, industrialization has not been a blessing. Clark also dissects the notion, championed by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs, and Steel, that natural endowments such as geography account for differences in the wealth of nations.</p>
A brilliant and sobering challenge to the idea that poor societies can be economically developed through outside intervention, A Farewell to Alms may change the way global economic history is understood.</p>
瀑布与汲泵 辉格 2014年5月7日 http://headsalon.org/archives/5153.html 人们在评价一个社会时,常把阶层间的流动性作为一个重要指标,认为适当的流动性是一个健康而有活力社会的应有特性,它可以为奋斗、进取和各种创造性活动提供动力,让身处下层者不至于丧失希望而产生反...
评分* 尽管从人类起源至今,人类的技术水平有个很大提高,但人类生活水平的真正提高,是最近200年,工业革命以后的事。因为在这之前,人类无法摆脱“马尔萨斯陷阱”的制约,技术进步的结果,产生了更多的人口,结果人均收入水平,并没提高。换句话说,在克拉克看来,即使是1800...
评分对经济类图书的读者来说,2009年可选择的书不多。郎咸平说系列图书几乎要与粗制图书画上等号:夸张演讲式文字、多篇文章扩充成书,观点在多部著作中重复挪用。2008年经济类图书明星作者韩秀云的新书也在缺乏创新型观点、缺乏系统性中被渐次遗忘,更重要的是《金融危机与我何干...
