评分挣扎了很久,还是给4星吧。本书的好处在于知识范围够广,总有一款是你不知道的,另外各种hammer一个简化了的核心理念,让你可以记忆深刻。缺点则是一切问题讲得都不够深入、不够细致,另外新意不多。如果不是这样的大家所著,应该就是一部普通的作品吧。
评分作者是MIT的经济学家和哈佛的政治学家,挺厚一本,刚拿到手的时候肃然起敬。结果翻看了没两个晚上感觉这书纯粹是文人思维啊。再上网看看书评,除了Tomas Friedman 这个老实人没说什么坏话之外,很多人指出此书的各种失误和错误。果断放弃。
评分Inclusive/extractive
评分书的最后大力鞭笞现代化理论,并主张政治制度改革与经济制度改革之间不存在天然因果关系,强调历史的偶然性和制度发展的惯性。但其过分简单的二分分析框架和一个argument纵观世界史的研究方法和现代化理论简直一模一样。

Review
"'You will have three reasons to love this book. It's about national income differences within the modern world, perhaps the biggest problem facing the world today. It's peppered with fascinating stories that will make you a spellbinder at cocktail parties - such as why Botswana is prospering and Sierra Leone isn't. And it's a great read. Like me, you may succumb to reading it in one go, and then you may come back to it again and again.'
(Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-prize-winning author of bestselling books including 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' and 'Collapse')"

Product Description
This is a provocative new theory of political economy explaining why the world is divided into nations with wildly differing levels of prosperity. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? "Why Nations Fail" sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace. Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty. They offer a pragmatic basis for the hope that at 'critical junctures' in history, those mired in poverty can be placed on the path to prosperity - with important consequences for our views on everything from the role of aid to the future of China.
若非相关专业研究,这本书首先不推荐读全本,看下关键章节的论断性语句强化记忆即可,其余皆是作者用于论证其观点的例子。当然,本书的精髓就在于这些纵横穿插古今中外,汪洋恣肆滚滚而来的经典实例,涉及到大量非英语名词,看起来略吃力,故作如是观。 作者开头以美国和墨西...
评分据说经济学家张五常提出的产权论在中国影响深远,其可贵之處是简单而清晰。张氏认为穷国富国,取決于产权介定。你是否有权转让自己的财产(a right to transfer)?是否有权用它(a right to use)?是否能用資产賺取收入(a right to earn income)。三大权的定立需要市场经济配...
评分第一本完整阅读的非教材英语书,前后读了一年多,从美国到北京再到香港。更多的是长跑般的耐力考验。 或许是作者的教授身份,虽然是非教材,从整体结构上却显示出了极强的英美教材的特点,开头结尾对全书进行总结,前后关系也以第几章作为标注,引用也很清晰。作为电子版,所...
评分我为了这本书思考了很久,然后在网上看了一篇,能解释我的疑惑,特地来豆瓣注册账号发表一下,文章转自方绍伟同志。 从制度方面探寻经济发展的原因,一直是近几十年来西方学术界的一个热门话题。2012年3月,麻省理工学院的德隆·阿西莫格鲁教授与当时任教于哈佛大学的詹姆斯·...
评分非虚构类,多细节,总有一点你所不知道的。关于版本选择问题,我自己打印的台版无删节版,这个版本也是众多网友共同努力制作而成的,在此向那些热心网友表示感谢。中文版肯定有删节,比如,第一章讲的是阿拉伯之春,估计肯定要被和谐。关于英语原版,我推荐将mobi格式转化成wor...
