The Wealth and Poverty of Nations pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
The history of nations is a history of haves and have-nots, and as we approach the millennium, the gap between rich and poor countries is widening. In this engrossing and important new work, eminent historian David Landes explores the complex, fascinating and often startling causes of the wealth and poverty of nations. The answers are found not only in the large forces at work in economies: geography, religion, the broad swings of politics, but also in the small surprising details. In Europe, the invention of spectacles doubled the working life of skilled craftsmen, and played a prominent role in the creation of articulated machines, and in China, the failure to adopt the clock fundamentally hindered economic development. The relief of poverty is vital to the survival of us all. As David Landes brilliantly shows, the key to future success lies in understanding the lessons the past has to teach us - lessons uniquely imparted in this groundbreaking and vital book which exemplifies narrative history at its best.
戴维·S·兰德斯,美国哈佛大学历史学和经济学教授,著有《时间的革命》和《摆脱束缚的普罗米修斯》等书。

评分当今世界国家之间的发展极为不平衡,且有愈演愈烈之势。大致浏览一下世界银行发布的近些年的《世界发展指标》,无一不将世界发展不均衡列为重要话题,如《2009年世界发展指标》在开篇中便提到,“如果没有得到根本性的改变,一个出生在远离赞比亚首都卢萨卡的乡村中的小孩...
评分书的封底有人评论说此书堪比《国富论》,我认为这个评价太高了。 先不谈《国富论》具有的开创性的地位,它本身就包含了很多的思想性。 但这本“新国富论”,基本就是经济和历史的结合,没包含多少思想,只是作者把两者结合的比较好,读起来有种新鲜感。而这,也是我推荐一读...
评分这本书是哈佛大学历史学和经济学教授戴维﹒S﹒兰德斯所著的鸿篇巨制。整本书很有斯塔夫里阿诺斯《全球通史》的感觉。而且几乎分析思路都有类似之处:都起始于自然环境,紧接着分析在此基础上的欧洲,进而拓展到其它地区。这也是两本书的共同局限吧,虽是鸿篇巨制,但仍免不了...
