This is a landmark book on the impact of property rights on European economic development. Published over a quarter of a century ago, its stated goal is "... to suggest new paths for the study of European economic history rather than ... either [a detailed and exhaustive study or a precise empirical test that are the] ... standard formats" (p. vii). North and Thomas attempt to identify the elements that allowed the Western European economy to rise to affluence. Their argument is made transparent in Chapter One (Theory and Overview): the key to growth was and is an efficient economic system. Efficient in the sense that the system of property rights gives individuals incentives to innovate and produce, and, conversely inhibits those activities (rent-seeking, theft, arbitrary confiscation and/or excessive taxation) that reduce individual incentives. They argue that property rights are classic public goods because: (1) once a more efficient set of property rights is discovered the marginal cost of copying it is low (compared to the cost of discovering and developing it); (2) it is prohibitively expensive to prevent other political jurisdictions from emulating a more efficient set of property rights regardless of whether they contributed to their construction; (3) and finally, the idea of a set of property rights, like all ideas, is non-rival -- we can all consume the same idea and the "stock" of the idea is not diminished. These public good aspects lead them to conclude that there may be under investment in the attempts to create more efficient sets of property rights because the jurisdiction that invests in the development of property rights pays the entire cost of their development but receives only benefits that accrue to its jurisdiction, while other jurisdictions can get the benefits without any of the developmental costs. Thus, the problems of public goods and the "free riders."

诺斯所阐述的“所有权的确定(或明晰)是近代西欧经济快速增长的动因”理论没有大瑕疵,问题出在翻译,很多句子初看让人摸不着头脑。 例如:“领主和他的骑士专门生产保护和公正,而依靠农奴来消费它们。”(第30页) 猜想译者想表达的是:领主和骑士不从事农业生产,他们依...

制度经济学的经典之作!

这家伙喜欢跑题。对每个国家和时期论述时的重点与史料都使用不均,叙述中也不易分清这是历史现象还是ideally根据经济模型应该有的样子。很重要的土地私有化可流转的史实基本只给了十三世纪英国的。对于最重要的论点:交易成本的降低,在荷兰只讲到其然,未见最重要的所以然(为什么在法国和西班牙就实现不了)。同样解释了西班牙却解释不了更复杂的北意大利。总体的论点是很整齐的。
