《以自由看待发展》是阿马蒂亚·森综合他在经济学基础理论、经验研究以及道德——政治哲学领域多年成果的一部里程碑式的著作。他改变狭隘发展观的旧范式,阐述人的实质自由是发展的最终目的和重要手段,建立了全新的理论框架。全书论证,发展是涉及经济、政治、社会、价值观念等众多方面的一个综合过程,它意味着消除贫困、人身束缚、各种歧视压迫、缺泛法治权利和社会保障的状况,从而提高人们按照自己的意愿来生活的能力。森根据大量的经验研究资料,分析了发展中国家面临的重大问题,阐明在实践中富有成效的解决途径。在强调市场机制、全球化对提高人们生活水平做出基础性重大贡献的同时,他指出还需要政府和社会在人的生存、保健、教育等领域承担责任,更需要人作为发展的主体在全面的社会交往和变革中发挥主动作用。

本书是风靡国际的一部另类的经典经济学教科书。与主流经济学教材不同,本书回避了繁复的公式、函数、运算,通过深入浅出和饶有趣味的图画,将日常生活中纷繁复杂、看似毫无关联的一些社会现象和一套富有一致性的思维框架结合起来,展示出一种“经济学的想象力”。正如道格拉斯•诺斯所说,经济学的力量就在于它是一种思维方式,本书的目的正是引导读者学会经济学推理方式,从而能够像经济学家一样思考问题。
作为为非经济学专业学生撰写的一部“一学期学会经济学”的教材,本书被认为是经济学教材领域的一次根本性变革。不仅在英语世界获得了广泛的认可,同时被翻译成日文、俄文、保加利亚文、匈牙利文等多种语言畅销全世界,堪称经济学教育领域一部标尺性著作。海外院校使用情况:斯坦福大学、西雅图大学、密歇根大学、纽约大学、纽约州立大学、北加利福尼亚大学、西安大略大学等数百所院校。

This book provides a careful historical analysis of the co-evolution of educational attainment and the wage structure in the United States through the twentieth century. The authors propose that the twentieth century was not only the American Century but also the Human Capital Century. That is, the American educational system is what made America the richest nation in the world. Its educational system had always been less elite than that of most European nations. By 1900 the U.S. had begun to educate its masses at the secondary level, not just in the primary schools that had remarkable success in the nineteenth century. The book argues that technological change, education, and inequality have been involved in a kind of race. During the first eight decades of the twentieth century, the increase of educated workers was higher than the demand for them. This had the effect of boosting income for most people and lowering inequality. However, the reverse has been true since about 1980. This educational slow-down was accompanied by rising inequality. The authors discuss the complex reasons for this, and what might be done to ameliorate it.
The Political Economy of American Industrialization, 1877-1900 豆瓣

In the last decades of the nineteenth century, the United States underwent an extremely rapid industrial expansion that moved the nation into the front ranks of the world economy. At the same time, the nation maintained democratic institutions as the primary means of allocating political offices and power. As the combination of robust democratic institutions and rapid industrialization is rarely found in world history, this book explains how economic development and democracy coexisted in the United States during industrialization.

NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER • From two winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, “who have demonstrated the importance of societal institutions for a country’s prosperity”
“A wildly ambitious work that hopscotches through history and around the world to answer the very big question of why some countries get rich and others don’t.”—The New York Times
FINALIST: Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Financial Times, The Economist, BusinessWeek, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, The Plain Dealer
Why are some nations rich and others poor, divided by wealth and poverty, health and sickness, food and famine? Is it culture, the weather, or geography that determines prosperity or poverty? As Why Nations Failshows, none of these factors is either definitive or destiny.
Drawing on fifteen years of original research, Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson conclusively show that it is our man-made political and economic institutions that underlie economic success (or the lack of it). Korea, to take just one example, is a remarkably homogenous nation, yet the people of North Korea are among the poorest on earth while their brothers and sisters in South Korea are among the richest. The differences between the Koreas is due to the politics that created those two different institutional trajectories. Acemoglu and Robinson marshal extraordinary historical evidence from the Roman Empire, the Mayan city-states, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Africa to build a new theory of political economy with great relevance for the big questions of today, among them:
• Will China’s economy continue to grow at such a high speed and ultimately overwhelm the West?
• Are America’s best days behind it? Are we creating a vicious cycle that enriches and empowers a small minority?
“This book will change the way people think about the wealth and poverty of nations . . . as ambitious as Jared Diamond’s Guns, Germs, and Steel.”—BusinessWeek

本书写的是三个伟大的经济思想家,他们奠定了20世纪政治经济领域左派、右派和中间派的基础。书中考察了每位思想家的理念是如何发展成熟起来的,他们的思想为何及怎样演变成意识形态,而这些意识形态又是如何同当代政治经济局势相联系。凯恩斯、拉斯基和哈耶克年纪相仿,在学术生涯中是同事,都参与了20世纪决定性的政治事件。这三个人的经历,也是西方怎样把政治经济学定义为政府和市场、管制和自由、阶级和大众之间的选择的历程。

When a prostitute agrees to unprotected sex, or a teenage criminal embarks on a burglary, or a smoker lights another cigarette, we seem to be a million miles from what we would call rational behaviour. None of this makes sense – or does it? Tim Harford thinks it does. And by weaving stories from locations as diverse as a Las Vegas casino and a Soho speed-date together with insights from an ingenious new breed of economist, he aims to persuade you that we are all, in fact, surprisingly logical. Reading this book, you’ll discover that the unlikeliest of people – racists, drug addicts, revolutionaries and rats – comply with economic logic, always taking account of future costs and benefits, even if they don’t quite realise it.

What are the grand dynamics that drive the accumulation and distribution of capital? Questions about the long-term evolution of inequality, the concentration of wealth, and the prospects for economic growth lie at the heart of political economy. But satisfactory answers have been hard to find for lack of adequate data and clear guiding theories. In Capital in the Twenty-First Century, Thomas Piketty analyzes a unique collection of data from twenty countries, ranging as far back as the eighteenth century, to uncover key economic and social patterns. His findings will transform debate and set the agenda for the next generation of thought about wealth and inequality.
Piketty shows that modern economic growth and the diffusion of knowledge have allowed us to avoid inequalities on the apocalyptic scale predicted by Karl Marx. But we have not modified the deep structures of capital and inequality as much as we thought in the optimistic decades following World War II. The main driver of inequality—the tendency of returns on capital to exceed the rate of economic growth—today threatens to generate extreme inequalities that stir discontent and undermine democratic values. But economic trends are not acts of God. Political action has curbed dangerous inequalities in the past, Piketty says, and may do so again.
A work of extraordinary ambition, originality, and rigor, Capital in the Twenty-First Century reorients our understanding of economic history and confronts us with sobering lessons for today.

自然到底值多少钱?谁向其投资?投资自然能产生多高的回报率?自然资源保护难道不就是在积累自然资本吗?过去我们往往只从环保角度思考这一问题的答案,而今天,同样的问题,正引导我们开启一场商业模式的变革。
在《大自然的财富》一书中,大自然保护协会CEO、前高盛合伙人马克•特瑟克和畅销书作家乔纳森•亚当斯提出,自然不仅仅是人类福祉的基础,更是全球各国企业和政府最明智的投资方向。通过分析美国、中国以及南太平洋等国家和地区的案例,从水资源、渔业资源、气候变化、海洋保护等多个层面,以商业的逻辑充分展示了自然作为一项绿色基础设施应该创造的价值。企业、政府及个人通过投资自然,可为商业找寻到新的价值创造方式和突破口,从而推动全球经济的技术进步和创新。

在这本探讨经济、自由以及二者之间关系的经典著作当中,米尔顿·弗里德曼和罗斯·弗里德曼为我们揭示了,正是由于华盛顿当局制定了过多的法律法规、实施了过多的政府管制、建立了过多的行政机构、花费了过多的财政预算,才使我们的自由和财富受到了侵蚀和削弱。一旦政府以中间人的身份插手干预,良好的愿望往往会导致悲惨的结果,对此,两位作者也进行了细致的考察研究。此外,针对这些经济问题,弗里德曼夫妇还提出了积极的建议和意见,告诉我们应当如何扩展自由、增进财富。
不论是探讨美国在以往岁月中的错误和失误,还是指出将来为增进经济繁荣所应采取的政策策略,本书都是一部重要的著作,其分析透彻,论证有力,说服力很强。

美国著名专栏作家和记者托马斯·弗里德曼继《世界是平的》一书之后又一引起世界轰动效应的新著——《世界又热又平又挤》。“在新著中,弗里德曼提出当今世界发展的五大趋势:(1)能源与资源的供需失衡;(2)石油生产国的垄断性经营;(3)(碳排放增量导致)地球气候变暖;(4)能源日益匮乏(石油、煤炭不可再生);(5)(人口爆炸性增长、无节制开发和环境污染导致)生物多样性消失。作者以及世界各国的许多科学家、环保主义者对五大发展趋势可能对未来地球及生命造成危害甚至毁灭的前景感到深刻的担忧。呼吁对石油、煤炭等造成严重环境污染和气候变暖的能源——作者称之为地狱能源——减少和限制使用,大力开发和使用清洁能源,如太阳能、风能、潮汐等——作者称之为天堂能源。作者认为必须跳出传统国家发展模式的臼巢,以创新的观念和方法求发展,在全球掀起一场新的“绿色能源革命”,以价格杠杆和政府干预行为全力推广绿色能源的研发和普及使用,才是正确的可持续发展道路和人类与地球长久存续的保障。“绿色能源”是每个国家发展的未来机遇和制高点,前景广阔,财富无限,将 “拥有无往不利的力量”

《制度、转型与经济发展》内容简介:为什么有些国家富裕,有些则非常贫穷?尽管技术飞速发展并且存在由计算机提供的大量免费信息,但许多贫穷国家与富裕国家之问的差距还是越来越大。为什么这些贫困国家不能追上富裕国家?长期以来,经济理论都很难为回答这些问题提供帮助。但是,作为经济理论迅速发展的一个分支,新制度经济学也许可以提供上述问题的答案。《制度、转型与经济发展》清晰地解释了新制度经济学,并运用其原理解释了波兰和饿罗斯的经济转型。读者将能够对转型极其发展中的经济问题进行深入的解析,这是以往任何一本著作所未能揭示的。
