This is a landmark book on the impact of property rights on European economic development. Published over a quarter of a century ago, its stated goal is "... to suggest new paths for the study of European economic history rather than ... either [a detailed and exhaustive study or a precise empirical test that are the] ... standard formats" (p. vii). North and Thomas attempt to identify the elements that allowed the Western European economy to rise to affluence. Their argument is made transparent in Chapter One (Theory and Overview): the key to growth was and is an efficient economic system. Efficient in the sense that the system of property rights gives individuals incentives to innovate and produce, and, conversely inhibits those activities (rent-seeking, theft, arbitrary confiscation and/or excessive taxation) that reduce individual incentives. They argue that property rights are classic public goods because: (1) once a more efficient set of property rights is discovered the marginal cost of copying it is low (compared to the cost of discovering and developing it); (2) it is prohibitively expensive to prevent other political jurisdictions from emulating a more efficient set of property rights regardless of whether they contributed to their construction; (3) and finally, the idea of a set of property rights, like all ideas, is non-rival -- we can all consume the same idea and the "stock" of the idea is not diminished. These public good aspects lead them to conclude that there may be under investment in the attempts to create more efficient sets of property rights because the jurisdiction that invests in the development of property rights pays the entire cost of their development but receives only benefits that accrue to its jurisdiction, while other jurisdictions can get the benefits without any of the developmental costs. Thus, the problems of public goods and the "free riders."

如果没有海外殖民地的扩张,欧洲的民族国家运动也只不过是千年军阀混战的继续。因为很明显的,当这种殖民运动在北美、东亚受阻,同时因为各殖民国在殖民地争夺中互相照面的时候,譬如德、日与英、法的矛盾,就再次爆发了欧洲内战(即一战),这导致了苏俄的出现(之前的...

似乎也就是那么几年之前,产权理论和新制度主义在中国大行其道,这种大行其道带着一个颇为简单的因果链条:经济增长来源于有效率的经济组织制度;那么自然而然地,我们要进一步保持经济增长,就要设计落实一套适合经济增长的制度。如果说这种解读的话语是国家主导的发展压力下...

这家伙喜欢跑题。对每个国家和时期论述时的重点与史料都使用不均,叙述中也不易分清这是历史现象还是ideally根据经济模型应该有的样子。很重要的土地私有化可流转的史实基本只给了十三世纪英国的。对于最重要的论点:交易成本的降低,在荷兰只讲到其然,未见最重要的所以然(为什么在法国和西班牙就实现不了)。同样解释了西班牙却解释不了更复杂的北意大利。总体的论点是很整齐的。

经济增长来源于自由的市场,和恰当的法制。政府都有短视的倾向,必须限制政府权力。
