Adam Przeworski (born 1940) is a Polish-American professor of Political Science. One of the main important theorists and analysers of democratic societies, theory of democracy and political economy, he is currently a full professor at the Wilf Family Department of Politics of New York University.
Born in 1940 in Warsaw, Poland, Przeworski graduated from Warsaw University in 1961. Soon afterwards, he moved to the United States, where he received his Ph.D. at Northwestern University in 1966. He taught at the University of Chicago, where he was awarded with the title of Martin A. Ryerson Distinguished Service Professor. He also held visiting appointments in India, Chile, Great Britain, France (among others, at the American University of Paris), Germany, Spain (Juan March Institute), and Switzerland. Since 1991, Przeworski has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2001 shared the Woodrow Wilson Prize for the book Democracy and Development. To date, he has authored 13 books and numerous articles.
Przeworski was a member of the September Group of Analytical Marxists, but left the group in the early 1990s.
The quest for freedom from hunger and repression has triggered in recent years a dramatic, worldwide reform of political and economic systems. Never have so many people enjoyed, or at least experimented with democratic institutions. However, many strategies for economic development in Eastern Europe and Latin America have failed with the result that entire economic systems on both continents are being transformed. This major book analyzes recent transitions to democracy and market-oriented economic reforms in Eastern Europe and Latin America. Drawing in a quite distinctive way on models derived from political philosophy, economics, and game theory, Professor Przeworski also considers specific data on individual countries. Among the questions raised by the book are: What should we expect from these experiments in democracy and market economy? What new economic systems will emerge? Will these transitions result in new democracies or old dictatorships?

民主化是比較政治學研究中當仁不讓的“頭號主題”,在有關民主化轉型的捲帙浩繁的文獻之中,亞當·普沃斯基(Adam Przeworski)又是一個繞不開的名字。一般來說,人類曆史上的激烈動蕩往往要經曆一定時間的沉澱,方有嚴肅的反思問世。而這本齣版於1991年的《民主與市場》卻並沒...

這書很短,一個下午就能翻完瞭,拿來打發時間也是很好的。思路和框架都極其清晰,順著這本書再去看東歐劇變,很有意思的,因為很像的。我時常在想,有些弱點,是不是inherently generated by communism/socialism?

評分5星。我覺得第一章比較有意思,是個重要的問題。為什麼敗選的人會願意認輸而不是推翻民主製度?這是為什麼公平的選舉和經濟錶現好的民主國傢更可能保存下來民主製度。作者告訴我就看看第一章和第三章好瞭,第三章確實也蠻有趣的。作者最後用一句話來評價社會主義和資本主義的話就是:Capitalism is irrational; socialism is unfeasible. 一針見血。
