Very interesting book. At least, if you like reading about how countries industrialized, and the theories on how to effectively do so. Allen does a good job of explaining a rather convincing theory that high wages drove investments in high-capital labor saving devices/methods, which forms a positive feedback cycle, as the high-capital devices allow wages to increase, and so higher-capital devices can be introduced economically.
He also gives good accounts of other theories of how economic history such as staples (use a "staple" product to grow by exporting it), and industrial planning.
He tackles every area of the world and pretty much every time from 1500 (mostly focusing on Europe for the early times). Japan, Russia, Korea, Taiwan, and China get special mentions for accomplishing the catch-up of GDP/capita with Western Europe, with some thoughts on how and why.
Overall, just an interesting viewpoint as to how the world has gotten where we gotten. Allen does a good job of pointing out problems with theories and also accepting that no simple explanation will probably due. He ends with "The best policy to effect economic development, therefore, remains very much in dispute," which I think is a fitting ending for an area with so many uncertainties.
第几次看着本剧了？大概是第四次或者第五次了。每看一次，都会得到特别的愉悦，感谢。
翻开此剧发现只有八十来页，还以为是试读版本的。却不想就是这么简短精炼，震撼人心。致敬知识，致敬人类文明，致敬地球！

当下才是我们赖以生存、成长、感受及蜕变的唯一时刻。我们需要更清醒地认识并警惕过去和未来的拖拽，避免陷入它们编织的虚幻梦境，而忘了我们的真实生活。
观音有泪，你怜悯天下众生，却难渡十万年情却 佛怒唐莲，你燃尽世间不平，却难化双兽苦寒心 暴雨梨花，你针茫为鬼而生，却难破武魂殿追杀 孔雀之翎，你雅姿刺破千甲，却难结瀚海阑干冰 暗器百解，你阵法天下不破，却难解世间红尘 鬼影迷踪，你躲进世俗寒刃，却难那逃宿命羁绊 生是唐门的人，死是唐门的鬼 此生不悔入唐门，斗罗不倒，我们不散
感恩季老，暖流入心。 只不过现在的我们还有注意过黄昏日落，晨起日出吗？每天上班下班，忙忙碌碌，即是空闲，也是手机打发了时间，某音，某博，某圈，充斥着生活，地铁中充斥着各种外放，吵闹个不停，为何不能戴上耳机，自娱自乐不好，非要打扰其他人，搞得乌烟瘴气？为何不能看会书，即是网剧，也是片刻享受。亦或者闭目养神，亦或者只是发呆，静静思考。
巨长巨长，看了20多个小时才看了三分之一，直接看最后一章发现是未大结局！深坑！弃！
细数过往，开国皇帝多数为前朝能臣、有钱、有权、有兵，开国后力保子孙掌权，大多兵刃功臣。后代子孙执政前期励精图治，后期江山稳定开始骄奢淫逸，这是人心、人性的缺点，如果任其发展，就会给国家带来隐患和灾难。明君一是亲贤臣远小人，二是厉行节俭。三是权利在手，切勿好大喜功！
