Review
"'You will have three reasons to love this book. It's about national income differences within the modern world, perhaps the biggest problem facing the world today. It's peppered with fascinating stories that will make you a spellbinder at cocktail parties - such as why Botswana is prospering and Sierra Leone isn't. And it's a great read. Like me, you may succumb to reading it in one go, and then you may come back to it again and again.'
(Jared Diamond, Pulitzer-prize-winning author of bestselling books including 'Guns, Germs, and Steel' and 'Collapse')"

Product Description
This is a provocative new theory of political economy explaining why the world is divided into nations with wildly differing levels of prosperity. Why are some nations more prosperous than others? "Why Nations Fail" sets out to answer this question, with a compelling and elegantly argued new theory: that it is not down to climate, geography or culture, but because of institutions. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary and historical examples, from ancient Rome through the Tudors to modern-day China, leading academics Daron Acemoglu and James A. Robinson show that to invest and prosper, people need to know that if they work hard, they can make money and actually keep it - and this means sound institutions that allow virtuous circles of innovation, expansion and peace. Based on fifteen years of research, and answering the competing arguments of authors ranging from Max Weber to Jeffrey Sachs and Jared Diamond, Acemoglu and Robinson step boldly into the territory of Francis Fukuyama and Ian Morris. They blend economics, politics, history and current affairs to provide a new, powerful and persuasive way of understanding wealth and poverty. They offer a pragmatic basis for the hope that at 'critical junctures' in history, those mired in poverty can be placed on the path to prosperity - with important consequences for our views on everything from the role of aid to the future of China.

读后感
一直到最近兩位作者戴倫．艾塞默魯、詹姆斯．羅賓森的新書《自由的窄廊》出了，才忽然想起之前買的這本《國家為什麼會失敗》還沒看。這本推薦的人很多，批評的當然也不少。這是一個很廣很大，爭議性高的題目，因為導致這個結果的變數太多，其實很難歸納出一套完整的論述去說明...
评分讲的不错，但内容也没有很新鲜。反驳了一些其他的理论，然后证明影响国家发展最重要的因素是制度机构。 下面对每章内容粗率的总结下（未完成） Preface Why Egyptians filled Tahrir Square to bring down Hosni Mubarak and what it means for our understanding of the ca...
评分据说经济学家张五常提出的产权论在中国影响深远，其可贵之處是简单而清晰。张氏认为穷国富国，取決于产权介定。你是否有权转让自己的财产（a right to transfer)？是否有权用它（a right to use)？是否能用資产賺取收入（a right to earn income)。三大权的定立需要市场经济配...
评分围绕本书主旨的争论其实至少早在英文原版成书前十年就开始了。正如很多评论都提到的，本书两位作者与长期合作伙伴 Simon Johnson （合称 AJR）2001年发表论文[1]以计量手段论证：制度是经济绩效的根本性决定因素，而纬度、气候、资源等则影响甚微。这就直接否定了认为地理等因...
评分小学时老师就教导我们写文章黄金法则第一条就是搞清楚读者是谁。A&R这本书的读者究竟是有扎实的经济学基础的学者，还是没学过经济学却有求知欲的普罗大众，还是好奇的高中生，我想他们自己也未必清楚，这必然导致了不同类型的读者对本书截然不同的评价。 有政治经济学基础的人...
用户评价
对inclusive/extractive的定义不清，有循环论证之感。对国家成功失败的定义过于单一、归因过于简单。由经济学家来讲历史感觉略牵强，证据比较散。
评分Disappointed because the authors mention inclusive vs. extractive institutions so many times without explaining exactly what they are like. God lives in details!
评分作者是MIT的经济学家和哈佛的政治学家，挺厚一本，刚拿到手的时候肃然起敬。结果翻看了没两个晚上感觉这书纯粹是文人思维啊。再上网看看书评，除了Tomas Friedman 这个老实人没说什么坏话之外，很多人指出此书的各种失误和错误。果断放弃。
评分写总结性专著的反面典型。想通俗结果写得罗嗦+无说服力，白瞎了结论背后那么多牛逼的论文。看在观点好和背后的论文牛逼，勉强给个4星。
评分The inclusive institution argument is like doctors trying to confront many different illnesses with only one diagnosis. The image of institutions being decisive in development is misleading and contrary to experience, and the narrow focus on institutions offers insufficient predictive help.
