國家為什麼會失敗:權力、富裕與貧困的根源【諾貝爾獎紀念版】: : Daron Acemoglu 2005John Bates Clark Medal James A. Robinson 156

作者: 戴倫.艾塞默魯 / 詹姆斯.羅賓森  |  譯者: 吳國卿 / 鄧伯宸


      《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》後,最具啟發性與解釋力的經典之作
  克拉克獎章得主,經濟學界最耀眼的新生代大師
  諾貝爾經濟學獎得主一致推薦

  以截然不同的角度,重新解釋人類社會的命運

  為什麼有些國家十分富裕,有些國家卻異常貧困?為什麼窮國都集中在熱帶或下撒哈拉非洲,富國都在溫帶?帶來繁榮富裕的根本原因是什麼?富裕的社會能夠一直繁榮下去嗎?一個社會的貧困與富裕,是如同《槍炮、病菌與鋼鐵》所說,受到風土與物種之類地理因素的影響呢?或是受到宗教文化的影響?也許是窮國的官員想不到好的政策?

  作者的研究顯示,窮國之所以貧窮,不是由於命定的地理因素,也不是因為傳統文化作祟。糟糕的政策很可能不是因為執政者愚笨無知,而是他們刻意圖利支持其權力的特權菁英,代價是整體社會的利益。繁榮富裕的關鍵在於這個社會採行何種經濟制度與政治制度。

  一個社會若能將經濟機會與經濟利益開放給更多人分享、致力於保護個人權益,並且在政治上廣泛分配權力、建立制衡並鼓勵多元思想,作者稱為廣納型制度,國家就會邁向繁榮富裕。反之,經濟利益與政治權力若只由少數特權菁英把持,作者稱為榨取型制度,則國家必然走向衰敗,即使短期之內出現經濟成長,卻必定無法持續,因為特權階級為了保有自身利益,會利用政治權力阻礙競爭,不但犧牲多數人的利益,也不利於創新,阻礙了整體社會進步。

  數千年的全球史也說明,制度可以往更具廣納性的方向移動,也可能會倒退回較具榨取性的狀態,淺層的民主也可能被綁架成為實質的權貴政治。

  中世紀的威尼斯因為採行較廣納的政治與經濟制度而邁向富裕繁盛,反過來又帶動制度朝更加廣納的方向前進,盛極一時而稱霸地中海。但早期的菁英豪族不甘於新人輩出瓜分利益,在當時全球最先進的民主制度下反撲成功,將威尼斯快速拉往封閉的榨取方向,因而導致它逐漸衰落。

  作者將備受推崇的多年學術成果,化為架構完整順暢易讀的一般讀物。他們以全球史為素材,運用嚴謹的經濟學分析與政治學洞見,幾乎全面檢視歐美亞非等地的歷史發展,並提出簡潔有力的理論解釋。對於臺灣當前的內外處境,此書恰是幫助我們釐清方向的重要啟示。

  基於十五年的原創研究,艾塞默魯與羅賓森列舉出許多精采的歷史證據,從羅馬帝國、馬雅城邦、中世紀的威尼斯、蘇聯、拉丁美洲、英國、歐洲、美國與非洲,建立了政治經濟學的嶄新理論,非常貼近當前世界關心的重大課題:

  ◆中國在威權統治下的經濟發展,是否能持續狂飆並超越西方國家?

  ◆美國的好日子是否已經到了盡頭?美國是否正從抵抗既得利益菁英擴大自己權力的良性循環,走向讓一小撮人更富有並掌控更多權力的惡性循環?反觀臺灣呢?

  ◆要幫助數十億貧困國家的人民脫離貧困,最有效的方式是什麼?西方富國提供更高金額的人道援助?或是從本書作者對於政治制度與經濟制度的互動觀察當中找到可行方法?

  《國家為什麼會失敗》將會改變你看待世界與理解世界的方式。

Worth the wait!
Format: Kindle
I've been anticipating this book for so long and even reread the last one to get my mind back in that world. I was not disappointed. Valerie and Abby were perfectly paired in every way. Their chemistry was so apparent from that first time kneeling in the park. And their emotions felt so real, like you've felt what they're experiencing before. And Francesca, the antagonistic, really infuriates you to the point of wishing things that probably shouldn't be wished on to another person. But that's how you know a character is well written, when they can illicit such emotional responses from the reader. And my god, did this book have emotions from passion to playfulness and even hurt, but in the end, these two women stand strong and stronger together for what they go through. And I can't forget to mention Hazel who was just so stinkin' cute! The only critique I have was Abby's friend Erin, who, at the beginning didn't seem the most supportive and kind of judgy despite her own odd situation with her bf Dan. I actually thought Abby and Erin were going to have their own conflict from the vibes at the beginning. But then Erin was quick to defend Valerie without knowing anything about her on a personal level because Abby signed an NDA and Erin didn't really know anything about their intimate realrionship or what Abby went through at the house since she didn't really disclose much. I guess she could have done so off page and, maybe I'm misremembering, but it didn't seem obvious that Erin would've known Valerie was a good person so I'm just wondering why she would want to push them together. We know she was being supportive technically because WE know Valerie's intentions, but SHE doesn't know, and ABBY doesn't know, so from Abby's perspective, it just seems like more of Erin supporting other people over her. If it were my friend coming to me saying all the things Abby thought she heard and understood from her perspective during the 3/4 conflict, there's no way I'd be encouraging her to give Valerie another chance or be on Valerie's side even a little. It was such a minor issue even though, yes, I know I wrote a paragraph, but still, an almost insignificant annoyance that didn't sway my overall opinion. Just an afterthought that made me think about how Abby deserves all the support she should've had with her own family. Again, so worth the wait because I love this author and the characters she comes up with and the worlds she builds around these people. Health is so important and comes first so I would wait a decade for the next one. I'm so pumped to see who's up next in this friend group because I know there's another beautiful relationship waiting to unfold. Bring it on, Anna!

At Her Service
Format: Kindle
Another brilliant book by Anna Stone. I truly enjoy her books. The give and take in her characters is a delight to read. The secondary characters are well developed and added to the storyline. The angst was done well. The resolution was beautifully done. I always look forward to a new book by Anna Stone, and it usually goes to the top of my tbr. I will continue to follow her.

How do you control another woman? Just like this!
Format: Kindle
Anna Stone has written a thrilling very hot and sexy love story. I was grabbed by the end of the first page and did not put it down until the last period! There are so many things to build the anxiety; childhood trauma, a total need to be dominated, job stress, and that went to both MC’s, and then there was a stalker added for good measure. As often as my heart swooned, and my imagination took over … honestly this story is good!

Instant love
Format: Kindle
This is typical Anna Stone writing which means it is very enjoyable but will follow very similarly to her other books. Valerie and Abby have an instant connection so no build up really. The drama with the ex was introduced but not played up enough. Most of the drama with Valerie seemed to be handled like background info and fixed off screen. Same with Abby and her family issues like it’s mentioned but miraculously better at the end. I had high hopes for this but I’m really not into the instant love trope. I do recommend if you are a fan of the author.
