图书描述

Why are some parts of the world so rich and others so poor? Why did the Industrial Revolution--and the unprecedented economic growth that came with it--occur in eighteenth-century England, and not at some other time, or in some other place? Why didn't industrialization make the whole world rich--and why did it make large parts of the world even poorer? In A Farewell to Alms, Gregory Clark tackles these profound questions and suggests a new and provocative way in which culture--not exploitation, geography, or resources--explains the wealth, and the poverty, of nations.</p>

Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, and economy of effort-and adopt economic habits-hard work, rationality, and education.</p>

The problem, Clark says, is that only societies that have long histories of settlement and security seem to develop the cultural characteristics and effective workforces that enable economic growth. For the many societies that have not enjoyed long periods of stability, industrialization has not been a blessing. Clark also dissects the notion, championed by Jared Diamond in Guns, Germs, and Steel, that natural endowments such as geography account for differences in the wealth of nations.</p>

A brilliant and sobering challenge to the idea that poor societies can be economically developed through outside intervention, A Farewell to Alms may change the way global economic history is understood.</p>

A very interesting social Darwinism perspective of economic history.

读到最后不禁汗颜，作者暗示经济增长的区别其实来源于work ethics和discipline。的确，在我有限的个人经验里，虽然经过高考洗礼，中国econ phd学生包括我的discipline确实整体弱于老外。

这本书比《Why Nations Fail》听起来有说服力多了——我果然是老racist。但是不用说，racism永远都听起来都有post hoc症。比如说想想中国和印度吧。书里面20世纪初的中国工人懒惰，生产率低下，和印度一模一样，可是一转眼就成为了世界工厂。100年的时间，对书中假设的进化而言，实在是太短了。

我之前看过的历史，多是关于政治影响力大的人物们的事情。而我觉得，这是远远不够的，我感兴趣的历史更在于经济史，文艺史，科技史等。这部人类经济史，脉络清晰，观点明确，有很多我以前没想到的数据来源。

最大的感觉是做经济史真是太难了。

读后感

对经济类图书的读者来说，2009年可选择的书不多。郎咸平说系列图书几乎要与粗制图书画上等号：夸张演讲式文字、多篇文章扩充成书，观点在多部著作中重复挪用。2008年经济类图书明星作者韩秀云的新书也在缺乏创新型观点、缺乏系统性中被渐次遗忘，更重要的是《金融危机与我何干...

瀑布与汲泵辉格 2014年5月7日 http://headsalon.org/archives/5153.html 人们在评价一个社会时，常把阶层间的流动性作为一个重要指标，认为适当的流动性是一个健康而有活力社会的应有特性，它可以为奋斗、进取和各种创造性活动提供动力，让身处下层者不至于丧失希望而产生反...

或许经济学应该从历史学和生物学中或许灵感。经济现象应该可以由常识解释，到底有没有宏观经济学是个很严肃的问题，回头看看马克思的书，或许也会有新的启发。现代经济学，走在一个十字路口。因为建模高手们，现在没有很好的解释世界。无休止的宽松货币政策会有怎么样的结...
