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.

Inclusive/extractive
評分這書的水平簡直就跟中醫不相上下。
評分Disappointed because the authors mention inclusive vs. extractive institutions so many times without explaining exactly what they are like. God lives in details!

我为了这本书思考了很久,然后在网上看了一篇,能解释我的疑惑,特地来豆瓣注册账号发表一下,文章转自方绍伟同志。 从制度方面探寻经济发展的原因,一直是近几十年来西方学术界的一个热门话题。2012年3月,麻省理工学院的德隆·阿西莫格鲁教授与当时任教于哈佛大学的詹姆斯·...
評分《国家为什么会失败》英文版于2012年3月出版,立刻引起广泛关注,被认为是政治经济学领域的一本重要著作。这自然与两位作者的声名有直接关系。两位作者,一位是麻省理工学院的经济学教授德隆·阿西莫格鲁,另一位则是哈佛大学政府学教授詹姆斯·罗宾逊。两人都任教于名校,虽...
評分第一本完整阅读的非教材英语书,前后读了一年多,从美国到北京再到香港。更多的是长跑般的耐力考验。 或许是作者的教授身份,虽然是非教材,从整体结构上却显示出了极强的英美教材的特点,开头结尾对全书进行总结,前后关系也以第几章作为标注,引用也很清晰。作为电子版,所...
評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...
