“在这本书中，Walter Scheidel 对有关西方崛起的长期争论给出了独到的见解。他的核心论点直截了当且极具启发性：在欧洲再也没有出现类似罗马帝国的政权，这一事实构成了现代经济增长、工业革命乃至更晚时期征服全球的关键先决条件。与 Ken Pomeranz 关于18/19世纪西北欧在经济表现与综合国力上拉开与中国及世界其他地区差距的‘大分流’经典论断相反，Scheidel 认为存在一个更为……”

……罗马帝国在欧洲历史上独特的角色，以及为什么在“帝国崩溃”之后该地区再无其他势力能够与之匹敌，最终反倒成了一件有利于欧洲发展的事情。书名叫：《逃离罗马：帝国的覆灭与繁荣之路》（Escape from Rome: The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity）https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691172187/es...
…the Roman Empire's unique role in European history and why no other power in the region could matching it after "the fall" was, eventually, something that worked out in Europe's favour. It's called: "Escape from Rome: The Failure of Empire and the Road to Prosperity" https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691172187/es...
……把一本书写进作者的简历里。）有些论证本质上就是篇幅很长的。要想建立对热力学的理解（而不仅仅是其公式表述的摘要），那绝对需要一本书的长度。赛德尔的《逃离罗马》是不可能塞进一篇文章里的。所以我其实不太去平衡。有时我手头正在读一本大部头，那就会占据我大量的精力。有时没有，但我手头会有好几本有趣的……
…put a book on the author's resume.) Some arguments are intrinsically long. Building up an understanding of thermodynamics (not just a summary of its formulation) is certainly book length. Scheidel's 'Escape from Rome' is not going to fit into an article. So I don't really balance. Sometimes I have a big book in flight and that's going to take a lot of my attention. Sometimes I don't, but I have a number of interesting…
罗马史学家沃尔特·赛德尔（Walter Scheidel）就这个问题专门写了一整本书（《逃离罗马》）——基本上就是在探讨这样一个观点：在罗马帝国于公元5世纪开始分崩离析之后，欧洲就再也没有真正重组成一个大规模帝国，而欧亚大陆的其他部分（尤其……
The Roman historian Walter Scheidel has a whole book (Escape from Rome) on this question -- basically, exploring the idea that Europe never really reformed a large-scale empire after the Roman Empire started to fall apart in the 5th C, whereas other parts of Eurasia (esp.…
……完全真实，但也令人难以置信。他在1965年之前写出的那些歌。伊恩·克肖（Ian Kershaw）写的《希特勒传》。完全真实，同样令人难以置信。德国人民投票反对民主。简直不可思议。沃尔特·赛德尔的《逃离罗马》，“罗马帝国的终结如何成为现代世界的开端，一部引人入胜的历史”。我经常琢磨罗马帝国，所以它基本上就是一个军事奴隶制国家，并且它……
…completely real but also unbelievable. The songs he had written by 1965. Hitler: A Biography, by Ian Kershaw. Completely real, also unbelievable. The German people voting against democracy. Unbelievable. Escape From Rome, Walter Scheidel, "The gripping story of how the end of the Roman Empire was the beginning of the modern world". I think about the Roman Empire a lot, so basically it was a military slave state and it…
