摘要

本文回顾了Daron Acemoglu和James Robinson的著作《狭窄的走廊》。它们描绘了“社会”和“国家”之间不断的争斗,前者想要自由,但无法维持秩序,后者维持秩序,但变得压迫。我认为,这本书有一个宏大的主题和令人印象深刻的历史支持的例子,但留下了许多悬而未决的问题。这两个概念类别应该被拆解,以检查它们内部和之间复杂的相互作用,并且应该考虑其他与作者的论点相反的例子。然而,值得祝贺的是,作者们写得精彩,发人深省,将启发未来的许多研究。(凝胶10,43,51,30)

“Somewhere in the Middle You Can Survive”: Review of The Narrow Corridor by Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson
This article reviews Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson’s book The Narrow Corridor. They depict a constant tussle between “society,” which wants liberty but cannot sustain order, and “state,” which maintains order but grows oppressive. I argue that the book has a huge theme and an impressive historical sweep of supportive examples, but leaves many open questions. The two conceptual categories should be unpacked to examine complex interactions within and across them, and other examples that counter the authors’ thesis should be reckoned with. However, the authors deserve congratulations for a brilliantly written and thought-provoking book that will inspire much future research. (JEL N10, O43, P51, Y30)
