多年前,加州大学尔湾分校的彭慕然(Kenneth Pomeranz)的一部《大分流》在世界汉学界引起了巨大反响。一时间,赞成者和反对者论战不止,国内也是”群雄混战”,也算是近来学术界的奇观之一。彭慕然的书之所以能够如此轰动,归根结底乃是因为作者观点的与众不同。 传统上,中外...
评分- 這本應該是歷史學中加州學派的重要經典,英文版本出版於1999年。台灣及中國大陸分別於2004及2008年曾出過其譯著,今次台灣衛城再出一版。 - 內容有甚麼不一樣就不太知道,有興趣者可自行找來比較。不過值得注意的是,台版兩版的譯者不一樣,而大陸版的譯者也不同,是故幾版應...

评分 评分彭在《大分流》中最重要的观点,是西欧通过海外殖民,并且率先使用了煤炭,解决了发展中遇到的生态限制。而中国遭遇了同样的生态限制,却在当年没有走上西欧的路。 彭指出,面临发展的生态限制,中国各地区有通过贸易来解决,但因为各地区的发展差异并不大,又没有武力强制,所...

The Great Divergence brings new insight to one of the classic questions of history: Why did sustained industrial growth begin in Northwest Europe, despite surprising similarities between advanced areas of Europe and East Asia? As Ken Pomeranz shows, as recently as 1750, parallels between these two parts of the world were very high in life expectancy, consumption, product and factor markets, and the strategies of households. Perhaps most surprisingly, Pomeranz demonstrates that the Chinese and Japanese cores were no worse off ecologically than Western Europe. Core areas throughout the eighteenth-century Old World faced comparable local shortages of land-intensive products, shortages that were only partly resolved by trade.
Pomeranz argues that Europe's nineteenth-century divergence from the Old World owes much to the fortunate location of coal, which substituted for timber. This made Europe's failure to use its land intensively much less of a problem, while allowing growth in energy-intensive industries. Another crucial difference that he notes has to do with trade. Fortuitous global conjunctures made the Americas a greater source of needed primary products for Europe than any Asian periphery. This allowed Northwest Europe to grow dramatically in population, specialize further in manufactures, and remove labor from the land, using increased imports rather than maximizing yields. Together, coal and the New World allowed Europe to grow along resource-intensive, labor-saving paths.
Meanwhile, Asia hit a cul-de-sac. Although the East Asian hinterlands boomed after 1750, both in population and in manufacturing, this growth prevented these peripheral regions from exporting vital resources to the cloth-producing Yangzi Delta. As a result, growth in the core of East Asia's economy essentially stopped, and what growth did exist was forced along labor-intensive, resource-saving paths--paths Europe could have been forced down, too, had it not been for favorable resource stocks from underground and overseas.
重读了一遍、、、毕竟现在也算猪见多了 不免觉得真是到到处处都是坑、、不过毕竟学术界挑风挑雨的典范著作 分也不好意思再往下给了
评分经济史的太多细节需要研究
评分a must-read (though not an easy-read) for comparative world history
评分视角很新颖,史料很详实,但读起来真是无聊啊
评分上周刚和这哥们吃了饭
