All societies must deal with the possibility of violence, and they do so in different ways. This book integrates the problem of violence into a larger social science and historical framework, showing how economic and political behavior are closely linked. Most societies, which we call natural states, limit violence by political manipulation of the economy to create privileged interests. These privileges limit the use of violence by powerful individuals, but doing so hinders both economic and political development. In contrast, modern societies create open access to economic and political organizations, fostering political and economic competition. The book provides a framework for understanding the two types of social orders, why open access societies are both politically and economically more developed, and how some 25 countries have made the transition between the two types.

Social orders are characterized by the way societies craft institutions that support the existence of specifc forms of human organization, the way societies limit or open access to those organizations and through the incentives created by the pattern of organization. These characteristics of social orders are also intimately related to how societies limit and control violence. Because social orders engender different patterns of behaviour, individuals in different social orders form different beliefs about how the people around them behave. Violence, organisations, institutions, and beliefs are the elements of our conceptual framework. (查看原文)

合宿时读的书，诺斯的理论归根到底只适用于欧美国家，而且估计作者是经济学家的原因，个人觉得他对19世纪以前各国的政治制度与社会背景分析的不够。

一本三位美国学者的巨作，新制度经济学必读读物。本书力图建立一个全面解释社会政治经济活动的理论体系，解释政治和经济关系的一部分本质。它采用简单明了的分类和定义，让读者轻松理解其理论精华。看完此书，读者定能加深对中国今天的政治经济现状的理解，并作出对未来大趋势的预判。
