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.

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...

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...

这个书是看到任志强提起过,后来翻看了一下英文版,里面讲到挺多有关制度的问题,诸如这些观点:一个国家只要采取了攫取性政治制度和攫取性经济制度,那么注定会失败,发达的国家都是采取了包容性的制度。我想这个书出版简体版本怕是遥遥无期,没想到时隔两年就有引进大...

围绕本书主旨的争论其实至少早在英文原版成书前十年就开始了。正如很多评论都提到的,本书两位作者与长期合作伙伴 Simon Johnson (合称 AJR)2001年发表论文[1]以计量手段论证:制度是经济绩效的根本性决定因素,而纬度、气候、资源等则影响甚微。这就直接否定了认为地理等因...

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。

四星献给它的厚度!来回来去来回来去来回来去地说几个既不深刻也不新颖还以偏概全的观点。。。不过通过阅读此书我增长了一些亚非拉历史和地理姿势

吐槽太多,论证不够。

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。
