重点看了看中文版删节部分,再看的话评价没有那么高了,部分观点值得商榷,不过仍然是值得看的好书。
评分脑洞太大,有点儿牵强。不过有些部分(比如援助问题)听起来挺有道理的。 分好高啊。
评分呵呵
评分I think selectorate theory is an extention of realism school instead of a stand-alone theory. Overall an exciting theory with somewhat funky examples.
评分东方早报推荐的,文笔简洁,观点有趣。可惜我近期心情有限,没有读完就还给图书馆了。

He is the author of 16 books, including The Predictioneer’s Game.Alastair Smith is professor of politics at New York University.

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.
這本書非常非常的好看 如果是無刪減版的更好看 原版有400頁 我在大陸買的這本只有396, 有關中國的都被刪了吧? 真討厭!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 我發的評論字數不夠多嗎? 豆瓣是怎麼了? 經常提示評論太短。
评分刘瑜女士将本书暗示为“民主颂”,完全同意。但她直接把最后一章“怎么办”的内容忽略了。我摘几段,大家就明白为什么了:(这里的“我们”指美国)“当某个外国的人民普遍反对我们的根本利益,我们获得想要的东西的最好办法就是让该国人民处于按美国人民意愿办事的独裁者的高...
评分 评分读完这本书之后 比较直观的感受是作者对于政治本质的看法确实十分透彻。诚然,就如同书里所梳理的那样,这个时间上的任何一个国家的政体无外乎是处在那个3维的框架里的不同位置而已。 但作为一个中国人,一个对官员腐败恨之入骨的屁民,书中对于腐败的理解是我觉得最出彩的部...
