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.

评分http://goo.gl/yblEb 一个国家的制度若是“汲取性的”,就只会保护那些掠夺人民财产的少数精英的政治和经济权力,所以这个国家必然会沉沦。汲取性的政治制度会支持维护既得利益者的经济制度,不让新参与者加入市场,而特殊利益集团创造出的财富又会去寻求垄断政治权力,使得威...
评分一直到最近兩位作者戴倫.艾塞默魯、詹姆斯.羅賓森的新書《自由的窄廊》出了,才忽然想起之前買的這本《國家為什麼會失敗》還沒看。這本推薦的人很多,批評的當然也不少。這是一個很廣很大,爭議性高的題目,因為導致這個結果的變數太多,其實很難歸納出一套完整的論述去說明...

The inclusive institution argument is like doctors trying to confront many different illnesses with only one diagnosis. The image of institutions being decisive in development is misleading and contrary to experience, and the narrow focus on institutions offers insufficient predictive help.
评分课本XD
评分四星献给它的厚度!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
评分一篇规范、严谨的学术论文,值得Akerlof的溢美之词。回答的problem还是最原始、最根本的经济学问题:为什么有的国家繁荣而有的国家贫穷?从国境线两个城市迥异的经济状况(question)出发,政治和政治制度的重要性被再次强调。中国和其它东亚国家的独特发展路径(榨取式政治制度前提下的经济增长)毫不有损于作者再次印证西方一向推崇的盎格鲁-撒克逊制度优越性的倾向。中间论述部分稍显赘余,但仍无法动摇给它五颗星的冲动。(可以先看中文版http://book.douban.com/subject/21325515/)
评分讲非洲的部分觉得写得很好,有不少启发,但是就唯一稍微熟悉一点的中国与日本的情况来说,还是觉得也许过于简单化——中国弱日本强,岂是明治维新成功这么轻飘飘的原因能够解释的
