Not easy to read. North's work is to build a systematic theory of institution and institutional change, but the theory he built is quite rough, lots of important concepts are used without careful examinations, the causal effects between institution and organization are mutual, the institutionalism is actually inner contradictory to the neoclassic.
this book is from a family friend, a sociology professor in HK. In the late 90s, he sent this book to dad, who can hardly read English! this is hilarious, somehow, it sat in our bookshelf with dense dusts for years long! Till recently, i happened to find it. The reading is worthy, which help a lot in better understanding my own subject.
快速通读 言简意赅 结构精美 太经典了 Long-run economic change is the cumulative consequence of innumerable short-run decisions by political and economic entrepreneurs that both directly and indirectly shape performance. Specific short-run paths are unforeseeable, the overall direction in the long run is both more predictable and more difficult to reverse
the current political, economic, and military organizations and their maximizing directions are derived from an opportunity set provided by the institutional structure that in turn evolved incrementally.

高开低走的阅读体验，演绎的过程读的很舒服，主要的贡献是从现实的不均衡性出发，把交易成本纳入新古典经济学的交易模型中，从而引入新制度主义的视角。诺思最大的亮点在于将制度视为决定社会交易成本的因素，从人的不完全理性出发论证制度存在的必要性。诺思展示了制度的内在稳定性和自我正反馈的机制，但是在解释制度变迁和有效率的制度何以形成的问题上，始终给不出一个完整的回答。

上次读还是自己的智识停留在柏拉图和亚里士多德的时候，想必那时问教授的问题很让他困惑。。制度理论是自由主义，马克思主义，社会资本主义三大范式的折中。这三种范式几乎在同一时间意识到对社会的理解离不开制度。诺斯大致出身自由主义制度学范式。制度决定游戏规则，组织在既定游戏规则框架内博弈。组织根据经济和政治影响力大小试图改变正式制度亦即重塑游戏规则，而制度的存在使权力的变迁无法太迅速地呈现，因此保证了社会系统的相对稳定。非正式制度的使用对发展理论很有益(参见Ostrom etc)。外生冲击试图改变正式制度时非正式制度（包括既存行为）常加以阻挠；而外来参与者进入制度中后其行为与偏好也常被制度重塑或改变。科技和创新很大程度受制度影响，因此制度可能影响国家经济发展。但无制度起源的探寻，这大概是A&J的头功。

基本上是用交易成本理论串起人，组织，制度，并且从一种制度变革的视角来讲述一种历史的趋势。论证严谨，短小精悍，要说问题主要就在于一种大理论常有的“历史决定论”的味道，逃不开的商人-企业家（经济人）的视角（虽然诺斯终于承认了非持续性变革的存在），以及博弈论对世界的合作环境太乐观了吧。

制度经济学最吸引我的一点在于，它可以用同样一套语言/理论包容不同的经济甚至社会理论和现象，同时具有相当的说服力。令经济学成为社科显学的并不是数学和统计工具，而是这样一套高度自洽的研究范式。

LD上课的文献。最开始看的时候还是Yu扫描的部分章节，上面的横线、纵线不断，已经可以猜出来Yu对North的欣赏。想来我自己看的时候完全没意识到自己在读的是什么“新制度经济学”的经典之作。像个傻子那样只顾着欣赏North文风的明白晓畅和他理论的“符合直觉”。Mark一下提醒自己之后要刷完全本。
