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.

評分 評分讲的不错,但内容也没有很新鲜。反驳了一些其他的理论,然后证明影响国家发展最重要的因素是制度机构。 下面对每章内容粗率的总结下(未完成) Preface Why Egyptians filled Tahrir Square to bring down Hosni Mubarak and what it means for our understanding of the ca...
評分 評分《国家为什么会失败》英文版于2012年3月出版,立刻引起广泛关注,被认为是政治经济学领域的一本重要著作。这自然与两位作者的声名有直接关系。两位作者,一位是麻省理工学院的经济学教授德隆·阿西莫格鲁,另一位则是哈佛大学政府学教授詹姆斯·罗宾逊。两人都任教于名校,虽...
學術書腔調暢銷政策書底子,寬大視野必須忽略細節,案例繁雜,大氣但粗糙。製度是一係列自變量在復雜曆史機製和偶然性中所形成的均衡,其本身就為一因變量、或實為國傢肌體本身,當作近乎唯一自變量解釋當代盛衰是簡便但膚淺/循環自證。除黑死病外,光榮革命之類似應當成製度內生突變而非偶然性和突發點。包容/攫取定義不清:包容的重點為司法保護私産、市場經濟和政治權力製衡,政治參與是次要;攫取要點則在以政治權力阻止他人進入自己在抽稅/租的領域,直接強徵經濟利益為次要。故中國、智利、印度等混閤製度即是包容與攫取的中間階段,組閤如何、如何發展則當具體分析,不應死抱分類。未能圓滿解決國傢權力集中化同維持包容性製度的矛盾和聚閤—歐美畢竟經曆特殊曆史進程方形成閤適配比—卻因分類僵化而提齣政治改革一路的政策建議,大膽而難為。
评分Disappointed because the authors mention inclusive vs. extractive institutions so many times without explaining exactly what they are like. God lives in details!
评分作者是MIT的經濟學傢和哈佛的政治學傢,挺厚一本,剛拿到手的時候肅然起敬。結果翻看瞭沒兩個晚上感覺這書純粹是文人思維啊。再上網看看書評,除瞭Tomas Friedman 這個老實人沒說什麼壞話之外,很多人指齣此書的各種失誤和錯誤。果斷放棄。
