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。

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.
