This final work by a world-renowned economist will take its place among the classics of political economy Why do some economies do better than others? How does society encourage the kind of market economy that generates continually increasing incomes? How do particular styles of government affect economic performance? World-renowned economist Mancur Olson tackles these questions and others in what will surely be regarded as his magnum opus. Olson contends that governments can play an essential role in the development of markets. Reliable enforcement of private contracts and protection of individual rights to property depend on governments strong enough not to undermine them. His exploration of "market-augmenting governments" will stand as a cutting-edge work on economic growth and provide a useful framework in which to consider the Asian financial crisis and its aftermath. As Susan Lee noted in Forbes, "his pioneering insights might have won a Nobel Prize for Olson had he lived a bit longer." "Power and Prosperity is an important book, written with clarity and verve. It is a great misfortune that Mancur Olson is not here to respond to the debates that it will surely provoke." -The Wall Street Journal

Mancur Lloyd Olson, Jr. (pronounced /ˈmænsər/ or /ˈmæŋkər/; January 22, 1932 – February 19, 1998) was a leading American economist and social scientist who, at the time of his death, worked at the University of Maryland, College Park. Among other areas, he made contributions to institutional economics on the role of private property, taxation, public goods, collective action and contract rights in economic development. Olson focused on the logical basis of interest group membership and participation. The reigning political theories of his day granted groups an almost primordial status. Some appealed to a natural human instinct for herding, others ascribed the formation of groups that are rooted in kinship to the process of modernization. Olson offered a radically different account of the logical basis of organized collective action.

前四章读后小总结与小感想,欢迎拍砖
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
政治学的核心范畴是权力,而经济学竭尽全力探寻繁荣的本源。这两门学科长期以来都忽略了权力与繁荣之间关系的重要性,经济学尤甚。虽然两百多年前,斯密、穆勒等古典政治经济学家将政府和政治以及企业和市场都纳入他们的经济分析之中,但是20世纪之后的经济学家却不这么做了... (展开)

奥尔森融合其另外两本书《集体的行动逻辑》与《国家的兴衰》的内容,在本书回答了几个问题。1. 什么东西让一个市场经济国家变富裕而其他国家贫穷,如何才能够从小商贩的市场经济转变成富人的市场经济?2. 为什么法西斯主义失败后的经济绩效,要比苏联共产主义崩溃后的经济绩效... (展开)

奥尔森遗作,据前言说算是未完成。他猝逝后学界惋惜其未能得诺贝尔经济学奖,这我同意;不过此书略失望。在这里他把抽象归纳和演绎方法推到了极致,但太多的归纳演绎都是就某个特殊现象去即时推导,没有了集体行动的逻辑中那种以数个简洁预设统率全书的框架。他孜孜不倦地证明分权民主制度和私有财产权能产生具有广泛的涵盖性利益的民主多数,这种个人利益与社会利益聚合的观点其实诺斯早在20年前的制度经济学论述中已经说过了。... 奥尔森遗作,据前言说算是未完成。他猝逝后学界惋惜其未能得诺贝尔经济学奖,这我同意;不过此书略失望。在这里他把抽象归纳和演绎方法推到了极致,但太多的归纳演绎都是就某个特殊现象去即时推导,没有了集体行动的逻辑中那种以数个简洁预设统率全书的框架。他孜孜不倦地证明分权民主制度和私有财产权能产生具有广泛的涵盖性利益的民主多数,这种个人利益与社会利益聚合的观点其实诺斯早在20年前的制度经济学论述中已经说过了。他对民主制度、财产权、政府、法治的解释基本是功能性的:因为无政府状态下的缺陷能被它们弥补所以它们存在,这实在是ad hoc的证明。而且他论证起点是已经存在成形制的统治团体(黑帮与政府对比),没有深入考察无政府状态中自发合作演进、维持与逐步形成第三方监管的需要,即合作的演进—他没有引用过这本书。 (展开)

尽管“流寇”与“坐寇”的比喻听上去很坏,但奥尔森的本意在说明类似“坐寇”的国家是必要的恶,沿袭了自由主义的思想。他提出了encompassing interest的概念,即统治的贼寇与被统治者是有共容的利益的,占有和长期徐徐地压榨对统治者来说是有利的,被统治者也需要force来保护自己不受第三方的侵害,两者利益的相容(实际上是统治者对被统治者的利益覆盖)让统治得以维系。作者特别论述了majorit... 尽管“流寇”与“坐寇”的比喻听上去很坏,但奥尔森的本意在说明类似“坐寇”的国家是必要的恶,沿袭了自由主义的思想。他提出了encompassing interest的概念,即统治的贼寇与被统治者是有共容的利益的,占有和长期徐徐地压榨对统治者来说是有利的,被统治者也需要force来保护自己不受第三方的侵害,两者利益的相容(实际上是统治者对被统治者的利益覆盖)让统治得以维系。作者特别论述了majority和autocrat的统治上的不同,前者之所以更好,是因为它不会像后者一样实行其最优税率——多数人倾向于少收税、且投入再分配的资产肯定比喜独占的autocrat多。但无论是哪种,国家在使用权力时,都会有限地夺取,并且出于私利提供公共产品,促进繁荣,是之谓其标题。 (展开)
