In this title, two renowned political scientists make the contrarian, research-based case that - regardless of any other factors political scientists or historians may find relevant - the calculations and actions of rulers are the driving force of all politics, and the primary goal of rulers is to maintain power as long as possible. In this clever and accessible book, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith introduce us to their perspective of the political world. They bare the logic of politics, starting from the simple premise that leaders pursue their own ends, and that populations either have, or more often don't have, the power to constrain them to a significant degree. The book is organized by a series interconnected questions, among them: Why do leaders who wreck their countries keep their jobs for so long? Why do autocracies have dismal economic policies? How are there so many suffering people in resource-rich lands? Why do 'natural disasters' disproportionately strike poor nations? Why do 'evil-doers' so often collect loads of foreign aid? Why are democracies so good at war? In answering these questions, the authors look at politics, the choices of public policies, and even decisions about war and peace as lying outside of conventional thinking about culture and history. They set aside ideas of civic virtue and psychopathology. Such notions simply are not central to understanding what leaders do and why they do it. Instead, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith see politicians as self-interested louts, just the sort of people you wouldn't want to have over for dinner, but without whom you might not have dinner at all. And from this perspective, they are able to answer some perplexing mysteries of politics, shed light on what we read in the newspapers every single day, and offer realistic ways of improving human governance.

读后感
年初在zaker上看到对本书的书评，看完书评以后就有看原著的强烈兴趣了。 作者在这本书里把对政治长达近20年的研究变成了普通老百姓都能看懂的通俗文字。 本书对于理解各国政府的行为有极大帮助，包括导致某搜索网站最终404的事件。本书对于统治的基本规则，不同执政者如何掌权...
评分本来对某些出版社愿意引进这样的书还是很高兴的，但如果把一本书经过断章取义的处理后再出版，很难讲还算不算做善事，因为有可能给原著抹黑。 翻了没几页，就看到“东北亚某个国家”这样的词了，本能的认为原著不可能这样写，于是找来英文原著做了简单的对照。没想到这一对照，...
评分你可以把这本书看成一个教程。 观察下来，有效。 有几个地方更需要注意： 1. 尽量观察那些存活了五十年以上的组织。 2. 这些组织，也符合本书的规则，但更高效，所以延续更久，矛盾解决更好。 3. 昙花一现式的组织，其实不需要太在意的。胡人无百年之国运，但满清也破了此例，...

用户评价
用一种简单模型（interchangeable, influential, essential）去替代另一种简单模型（民主vs独裁），然后生搬硬套。废话太多，车轱辘话来回说，最后我就只看看每章最后的总结。举了不少例子但分析太浅且牵强。最有趣的是，中国和新加坡的成功被作者称为“例外”，然后干脆就不讨论了！
评分非常好的政治学科普书。主要强调三点，一是实证性(相对于规范性)，二是方法论个人主义，三是政治联盟的组成和维持。读这本入门既避免了“天下乌鸦一般黑”的虚无主义病，也不会陷入过于moralistic地看政治。这本中文引进版恐怕少不了删减。
评分书评已发：《放诸古今皆准的权力规则》
评分怎么想都觉得军队那里太难做因果识别了，不过，那又如何？也许大家都是猜到了结果猜不透开始
评分很讨厌这种写作风格，感觉不舒服，要不就完全严谨学术写作，要不就写出畅销书应有的水准，这种mixed的真心觉得做作讨厌。\\#多日后为写paper的吐槽# 真是的学术著作吗？？敢不敢再不严谨点？
