具体描述
The history of nations is a history of haves and have-nots, and as we approach the millennium, the gap between rich and poor countries is widening. In this engrossing and important new work, eminent historian David Landes explores the complex, fascinating and often startling causes of the wealth and poverty of nations. The answers are found not only in the large forces at work in economies: geography, religion, the broad swings of politics, but also in the small surprising details. In Europe, the invention of spectacles doubled the working life of skilled craftsmen, and played a prominent role in the creation of articulated machines, and in China, the failure to adopt the clock fundamentally hindered economic development. The relief of poverty is vital to the survival of us all. As David Landes brilliantly shows, the key to future success lies in understanding the lessons the past has to teach us - lessons uniquely imparted in this groundbreaking and vital book which exemplifies narrative history at its best.

评分和其他网友不同，我觉得这本书的架构还算合理。整个章节按照时间依次排开，每章都着重讨论一个问题，从书中引用的论据可以看书，作者对这个问题做了长期的研究。读下来，成功的因素各有各的不同，失败的原因却逃脱不过那几种。对书中描述德国成功的那一段更感兴趣，引起了对德...
评分阅读国富国穷的感受，和我去东部华侨城大峡谷的感受是一样的。那是一天游玩结束的时候，我到顶部天桥，视野非常开阔，一边是绿草如茵的云海谷。另一边是蔚蓝大海，海岸线弯弯曲曲延伸到远方，海面上零星有几条船，一条船向前驶去，留下身后白白一条浪花线，看上去是那么地静谧...
