The 2024 economic sciences laureates have provided an explanation for why some countries are rich and others poor.
The richest 20 per cent of the world’s countries are now around 30 times richer than the poorest 20 per cent. Moreover, the income gap between the richest and poorest countries is persistent; although the poorest countries have become richer, they are not catching up with the most prosperous. Why? This year’s laureates have found new and convincing evidence for one explanation for this persistent gap – differences in a society’s institutions.
Providing evidence for this is no easy task. A correlation between the institutions in a society and its prosperity does not necessarily mean that one is the cause of the other. Rich countries differ from poor ones in many ways – not just in their institutions – so there could be other reasons for both their prosperity and their types of institutions. Perhaps prosperity affects a society’s institutions, rather than vice versa. To arrive at their answer, the laureates used an innovative empirical approach.

華麗家族:全球知名家族企業興衰史


目錄

前言
第一部:銀行業
  對家族企業來說,銀行業特別有賺頭。首先就歷史來看,要在銀行業飛黃騰達,必須利用個人關係--你認識誰、你信任誰、以及誰信任你…。
  關係很重要,這意謂的是家族、延續性、良好聯姻、豪門世家的傳承。…銀行家的天職是代代相傳,銀行的信用由父親傳給兒子,這種世代相傳的財富,也將關係傳承下來。
第一章:霸菱家族--現代銀行之興起
第二章:羅斯柴爾德家族--毅力、不屈不撓與持續性
第三章:摩根家族--從家族王朝到與陌生人合夥
第二部:汽車業
  在強調技術優越與品味的結合下,汽車已成為天才的靈感及意外之作。在每一個生產過程中,設計和製造主要由專家負責,但車款的命名則是象徵汽車製造英雄。值得注意的是,這些人大多是汽車世家的創辦人,也讓後代擔任接班人並指派他們掌理--就算接班人缺乏技術專長也是如此。
第四章:福特汽車--國民車
第五章:阿奈利家族與飛雅特汽車--拉丁模式
第六章:標致、雪鐵龍、雷諾--法國汽車王朝
第七章:豐田家族--豐田汽車與日本國內汽車的崛起
第三部:地球上的寶藏
  原物料業者除了要有運氣,也要能嗅出並掌握商機。誰擁有蘊含寶藏的土地?誰知道那塊土地上或地底下藏有大批礦產?誰能取得權利開發這些原物料?而且,要瞭解未來經濟上會發生什麼改變,會影響到哪些特定原物料的價值?
第八章:洛克菲勒家族--幸運、善行與虔誠
第九章:古根漢家族--天地之間的寶藏
第十章:史蘭伯傑家族--智慧、運氣及好時機
第十一章:溫德家族--尊貴與勤勉

新國富論─人類窮與富的命運












  •  這是一部聚沙成塔的歷史之作,檢視全球最為壓力沉重的問題──窮國為什麼這麼窮?富國為什麼這麼富?
      過去六百年來,全世界最富有的國家幾乎全都是歐洲國家; 20 世紀晚近,這項平衡開始轉移到亞洲諸國。為什麼有些國家能得天獨厚,有驚人的成長?許多國家卻一直在貧窮中掙扎?
      答案就在這本重要的劃時代巨作中。作者以亞當.史密斯的《國富論》作為理論依據,敘述了一個關於全世界貧富現象的有趣故事:財富是如何創造出來的、勝利者與失敗者的歷程、國家的興與衰。他以變遷的角度研究歷史,企圖了解世界的多文化如何引導或延緩了經濟和軍事上的勝利,以及物質上的成功。
      藍迪斯斷言,西方諸國早年藉著注重工作、知識,與充滿活力的開放社會相互作用,導致生產力增加,創造出新科技,習慣於追求改變。
      今天,新的經濟強國遵從幾乎相同的途徑,得到權勢;動作緩慢者則無法複製此一決定性的成功公式,而功虧一簣。
      當我們跨過第二個千禧年、展望未來之際,不得不正視:貧富的差異將是未來一千年人類最大的問題與危機。
      要減輕世界上的貧窮問題,關鍵在於了解歷史所教導我們的教訓,而這些教訓,將在這本驚天動地的書中傳授給你。

DAVID LANDES
Revolution in Time
Life is hard, crowded, and complicated. But imagine what it would be like without reasonably accurate and generally accepted standards of measuring time. According to David Landes, Coolidge Professor of History and Professor of Economics Emeritus, Harvard University, a world lacking in time management would lead not only to disorganization but also to generalized poverty. Landes takes us on a tour of timekeeping from medieval to modern times and explains the culture, technology, and manufacture of measuring time and making clocks. His books include Revolution in Time: Clocks and the Making of the Modern World and The Wealth and Poverty of Nations.
Cosponsored by the Management Department of The Wharton School.

From
 Revolution in Time: Clocks and the Making of the Modern World
(Harvard University Press, 2000)




I. Finding Time"The question to ask is: why clocks? Who needs them? After all, nature is the great time-giver (Zeitgeber), and all of us, without exception, live by nature's clock. Night follows day; day, night; and each year brings its succession of seasons. These cycles are imprinted on just about every living thing in what are call circadian ('about a day') and circannual biological rhythms. They are stamped in our flesh and blood; they persist even when we are cut off from time cues; they mark us as earthlings.

These biological rhythms are matched by societal work-patterns: day is for labor, night for repose, and the round of seasons is a sequence of warmth and cold, planting and harvest, life and death.

Into this natural cycle, which all people have experienced as a divine providence, the artificial clock enters as an intruder. For example, in ancient Rome:

'The gods confound the man who first found out
How to distinguish hours. Confound him, too,
Who in this place set up a sundial,
To cut and hack my days so wretchedly
Into small pieces! When I was a boy,
My belly was my sundial - one surer,
Truer, and more exact than any of them.
This dial told me when 'twas proper time
To go to dinner, when I ought to eat;
But nowadays, why even when I have,
I can't fall to unless the sun gives leave.
The town's so full of these confounded dials . . .'

And yet the sundial is the most natural of clocks, for it simply registers the movement of nature's prime timepiece. In essence, it is a schematization of the tree that casts a shadow and thus tracks the passing. Since our unhappy Roman thought sundials a plague, what would he have said about mechanical clocks, going night and day, sky cloudy or clear, keeping an equal beat and beating equal hours in all seasons? 'By its essential nature,' wrote Lewis Mumford, the clock 'dissociated time from human events'. To which I would add: and human events from nature. The clock is a machine, a work of artifice, a man-made device with no model in nature - the kind of invention that needed planning, thinking, or trying, and then more of each. No one could have stumbled on it or dreamed it up. But someone or, rather, some people wanted very much to track the time - not merely to know it, but to use it. Where and how did so strange, so unnatural a need develop?"
