《为什么国家会失败》这本书写得精彩动人，回答了困扰专家们几个世纪的问题:为什么有些国家富有而另一些国家贫穷，被财富与贫穷、健康与疾病、食物与饥荒所划分?是文化、天气还是地理?也许是不知道正确的政策是什么?简单地说,没有。这些因素都不是决定性的或宿命的。否则，如何解释为什么博茨瓦纳成为世界上发展最快的国家之一，而其他非洲国家，如津巴布韦、刚果和塞拉利昂，却深陷贫困和暴力的泥潭?达隆·阿塞莫格鲁和詹姆斯·罗宾逊最终表明，是人为的政治和经济制度奠定了经济成功(或缺乏经济成功)的基础。仅举一个有趣的例子，朝鲜是一个非常单一的国家，然而朝鲜人民是世界上最贫穷的人之一，而他们的兄弟姐妹在韩国是最富有的。南方打造了一个创造激励、奖励创新、允许每个人都参与经济机会的社会。由于政府对公民和广大人民负责并作出反应，因此所刺激的经济成功得以持续。 Sadly, the people of the north have endured decades of famine, political repression, and very different economic institutions—with no end in sight. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created these completely different institutional trajectories. Based on fifteen years of original research Acemoglu and Robinson marshall extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, medieval Venice, the Soviet Union, Latin America, England, Europe, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, including: - China has built an authoritarian growth machine. Will it continue to grow at such high speed and overwhelm the West? - Are America’s best days behind it? Are we moving from a virtuous circle in which efforts by elites to aggrandize power are resisted to a vicious one that enriches and empowers a small minority? - What is the most effective way to help move billions of people from the rut of poverty to prosperity? More philanthropy from the wealthy nations of the West? Or learning the hard-won lessons of Acemoglu and Robinson’s breakthrough ideas on the interplay between inclusive political and economic institutions? Why Nations Fail will change the way you look at—and understand—the world.
