今年读的最后一本书,和 why nation fails相得益彰。一个是讲政治,一个讲经济,其实说的都是同一件事。以前拿起the logic of political survival,结果没看下去,模型有点太复杂,这本确实非常容易读。
评分呵呵
评分非常好读了 没畏惧感 //想到主编说的 书不求读完 当你知道你为什么要读并且达成了这项诉求 就可以放下了 觉得对 为自己看不完每一本专著找到好台阶
评分这本书告诉我,如果我实在无法移民到发达国家,我可以考虑移民到一个不那么发达的民主国家,但是动作要快,因为他们发达的速度都惊人,时不我待。还有这场“反复”运动的主要目的是减少制胜联盟的人数,同时所有的其他政策都在指向更为“独菜”的方向,也就是说,如果成功,将是更加暗无天日的世界,而失败几乎只能期待经济崩溃,也绝对是大多数人的损失。另外,美国不需要一个“闽猪”的瓷器,更符合他们利益的是一个听话的独裁政府。
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。

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.

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...

评分年初在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...
