Continuing his groundbreaking analysis of economic structures, Douglass North develops an analytical framework for explaining the ways in which institutions and institutional change affect the performance of economies, both at a given time and over time. Institutions exist, he argues, due to the uncertainties involved in human interaction; they are the constraints devised to structure that interaction. Yet, institutions vary widely in their consequences for economic performance; some economies develop institutions that produce growth and development, while others develop institutions that produce stagnation. North first explores the nature of institutions and explains the role of transaction and production costs in their development. The second part of the book deals with institutional change. Institutions create the incentive structure in an economy, and organisations will be created to take advantage of the opportunities provided within a given institutional framework. North argues that the kinds of skills and knowledge fostered by the structure of an economy will shape the direction of change and gradually alter the institutional framework. He then explains how institutional development may lead to a path-dependent pattern of development. In the final part of the book, North explains the implications of this analysis for economic theory and economic history. He indicates how institutional analysis must be incorporated into neo-classical theory and explores the potential for the construction of a dynamic theory of long-term economic change.
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.
评分Good one!
评分因为这本书入的坑
评分为我增加了一种理解世界的方式。
评分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.
