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
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，...
评分看到有篇热门书评开始讨论作者的民主观点，实在可笑。作为大学老师，这门课的重点是政治权力的获取和运用，对照的是马基雅维利、霍布斯、麦迪逊、孟德斯鸠的看法。听课的学生生活在民主国家，随时运用民主制度，对民主的理解和实践绝对超过书评作者。那书评就是歪曲。如果说作...

用户评价
获取控制权并保持住，政治的首要目的。抓住少数关键人物的支持并使得这些支持者处于忠诚，需要高超的手段控制实际结盟者的数目，人数小到随时可以替换，大数到可以完全控制。而名义结盟者，越多越好。政治是少数人的游戏，这个游戏的风险和收益巨大，而博弈的结果并不会一定导向经济效率高的均衡或是居民普惠的政策。政治人物首先迎合的便是结盟者，而居民始终是最后一位，尽管名义上是第一位。善治依赖于大的权力联盟，即长官不能通过赢取少数人的支持保持领导位置。
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？
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。
评分书评已发：《放诸古今皆准的权力规则》
评分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。
