Compulsory ujamaa villages in Tanzania, collectivization in Russia, Le Corbusier's urban planning theory realized in Brasilia, the Great Leap Forward in China, agricultural "modernization" in the Tropics -- the twentieth century has been racked by grand utopian schemes that have inadvertently brought death and disruption to millions. Why do well-intentioned plans for improving the human condition go tragically awry? In this wide-ranging and original book, James C. Scott analyzes failed cases of large-scale authoritarian plans in a variety of fields. Centrally managed social plans misfire, Scott argues, when they impose schematic visions that do violence to complex interdependencies that are not -- and cannot -- be fully understood. Further, the success of designs for social organization depends upon the recognition that local, practical knowledge is as important as formal, epistemic knowledge. The author builds a persuasive case against "development theory" and imperialistic state planning that disregards the values, desires, and objections of its subjects. He identifies and discusses four conditions common to all planning disasters: administrative ordering of nature and society by the state; a "high-modernist ideology" that places confidence in the ability of science to improve every aspect of human life; a willingness to use authoritarian state power to effect large-scale interventions; and a prostrate civil society that cannot effectively resist such plans. "A broad-ranging, theoretically important, and empirically grounded treatment of the modern state and its propensity to simplify and make legible a society which by nature is complex and opaque. For anyone interested inlearning about this fundamental tension of modernity and about the destruction wrought in the twentieth century as a consequence of the dominant development ideology of the simplifying state, this is a must-read". -- Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, author of Hitler's Willing Executioners

论点非常简单的一本书,high modernism vs local knowledge,legibility vs opacity,主要读了俄国革命和苏联集体化的部分,有点意犹未尽。
评分很多examples和metaphors,语句也算优美,如果不那么话唠就完美了
评分high modernism的出处
评分现在看起来,Scott同statist并没有本质区别,只是换了一边站罢了。
评分phenomenal! fantastic! High recommended if you are interested in the underlying ideologies supporting the authoritarian state-lead utopian project. But personally, a romanticizing vision of metis is also dangerous to perpetuate the disastrous outcomes brought by those autocracies.
国家的管理者出于控制的目的,总是希望把社会弄得像机器齿轮一样,冷冰冰的一环扣一环。在这种所谓统一有序、简单清晰的政治理念下,社会的多样性消失了,微观秩序生长的力量被抹杀惹尽。但这种“一刀切”的治理方式却往往事与愿违、弄巧成拙。从德国单一种植的科学林业...
