Douglass Cecil North is also professor of history and a fellow of the Center in Political Economy. He was on the faculty of the University of Washington and held visiting chairs at Cambridge and Rice Universities. In 1993 he was awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has served as president of the Economic History Association and the Western Economic Association. His major interest is the evolution of economic and political institutions. The effects of institutions on the development of economies through time is a major emphasis in his work in both economic history and development. Among his books are The Rise of the Western World (with R. P. Thomas, 2nd edition), 1973, Growth and Welfare in the American Past, 1973, Structure and Change in Economic History, 1981, and Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance, 1990.
In this bold, sweeping study of the development of Western economies, Douglass C. North sets forth a new view of societal change.
At the core of Professor North's investigation is the question of property rights, the arrangements individuals and groups have made through history to deal with the fundamental economic problem of scarce resources.
In six theoretical chapters, Professor North examines the structure of economic systems, outlines an economic theory of the state and the ideologies that undergird various modes of economic organization, and then explores the dynamic forces such as new technologies that cause institutions to adapt in order to survive. With this analytical framework in place, major phases in Western history come under careful reappraisal, from the origins of agriculture and the neolithic revolution through the political economy of the ancient and medieval worlds to the industrial revolution and the economic transformations of the twentieth century.
Structure and Change in Economic History is a work that will reshape many established explanations of the growth of the west.

评分花了半个月才看完一本书,速度确实够慢的,中间有个十一长假,在北京各个角落逛了一下。不过说起来单纯看书的速度还是可以的,从昨天下午一直看到今天下午,一天多一点儿的时间就把手头的这本诺思的《经济史中的结构与变迁》看完了。作为新制度主义和新经济史学的大师,诺...
评分 评分传统马克思主义者主要从技术变革角度来分析经济的变革,即产业革命(生产力)的改变使得既定的制度构架(上层建筑)不再适用,从而导致了制度变迁。这一分析的疏漏在于忽视了资源禀赋的变化,在中古社会现代社会的变迁过程中,这一资源禀赋主要表现为人口增长和土地存量的...
