Carles Boix, Princeton University, New Jersey
Carles Boix is the Robert Garrett Professor of Politics and Public Affairs in the Department of Politics and at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University. His first book, Political Parties, Growth and Equality (Cambridge, 1998), examines the different means through which partisan governments manage the economy in a globalized world. In his more recent work, Democracy and Redistribution (Cambridge, 2003), Boix describes the economic and institutional conditions that lead to democratization. Both books received the William Riker award for the best book on political economy. Boix coedited the Oxford Handbook of Comparative Politics (2007), which has quickly become one of the main works of reference in political science, and has published in the top journals of the discipline, such as the American Political Science Review and World Politics. He is a Guggenheim Fellow and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

The fundamental question of political theory, one that precedes all other questions about the nature of political life, is why there is a state at all. Is human cooperation feasible without a political authority enforcing it? Or do we need a state to live together? This problem then opens up two further questions. If a state is necessary to establish order, how does it come into place? And, when it does, what are the consequences for the political status and economic welfare of its citizens? Combining ethnographical material, historical cases, and statistical analysis, this book describes the foundations of stateless societies, why and how states emerge, and the basis of political obligation. As a result of this inquiry, it explains the economic and political roots of inequality, describes the causes of the stagnation of the preindustrial world, and explores what led to the West’s prosperity of the past two centuries.
The first book to offer (from an empirical/positive - as opposed to normative - point of view) a complete theory of political order, integrating Olson's work (of a Hobbesian nature) with consent-based theories of state formation
The first book to offer a theory of inequality
Challenges the main paradigm of economic growth today - institutionalism - offering a new explanation of economic growth/stagnation

牛逼闪闪
评分再读一次感觉没那么惊艳了。几个点不太convincing：国家暴力机器的建立会为掠夺投资带来递增收益，这一和国家性质（共和、君主）无关。所以"生产者"在建立国家后转为掠夺者（对内汲取非精英的产出）的激励很大（作者一笔带过的所谓庇护主义模型没有很好地处理这个问题）；带有权力制衡结构的政治制度并不一定是生产者权力分享的结果，也有可能是实力均等的掠夺者所建立的（匈牙利，瑞典、波兰等贵族立宪国家）；另外，虽然科技革命可能是一个内生过程，但正如作者指出的那样，科技革命依赖于城市人口集聚，后者又是农业产出盈余的结果，而对西欧的农业产出盈余的解释（以及1000 AD发生的农业革命）可能也要依赖于制度分析。
评分封神之后又一次封神的书。不说别的，这年头敢写因变量驱动的研究就很值得吹捧，然后理论宏大，叙述宏大，证据却是非常微观的，因果识别上虽然不好做，但也迈进了一大步。
评分吊炸天，撸人类学了。
