David S. Landes讲述了世界范围内关于财富与权力的漫长而引人入胜的史诗：财富的创造、胜败者的不同路径，以及各国的兴衰浮沉。他将历史视为一个动态进程加以探究，试图理解世界各地的文化究竟是如何促进——或阻碍——经济与军事成功及物质财富积累的。Landes断言，西方国家之所以能较早繁荣，得益于一个充满活力、崇尚实干与知识的开放社会的相互作用，这推动了生产力的提升、新技术的创造以及对变革的追求。欧洲的核心优势在于

根深蒂固的官僚主义，加上极度讲究等级森严的思维模式（西班牙王室的礼仪繁琐是出了名的）——那你还指望能怎样呢？正如戴维·兰德斯（David Landes）在他那本相当精彩的《国富国穷》（The Wealth and Poverty of Nations）中所指出的，正是这种思维毁掉了西班牙、拉美和南美。而美国却像坐了火箭一样一飞冲天。如果你觉得现代社会和过去毫无关联，不妨来西班牙旅个居，试着办个宽带看看……
age old bureaucracy, coupled with a very hierarchical mindset (the spanish monarchy protocol was famous for its complexity) - what do you expect? as david landes notes in his quite brilliant book, The Wealth and Poverty of Nations, exactly this mindset ruined Spain, Latin and South America. While the USA took off like a rocket. if you think that modern times have no relation to the past come visit spain and try to get internet…
《国富国穷》——大卫·S·兰德斯。无论你是否同意他的结论，这是我青少年时期读到的第一本试图将看似风马牛不相及的事物——文化、技术、运气——串联成同一个叙事脉络的书。……
The Wealth and Poverty of Nations - David S. Landes Agree or disagree with his findings, but it was the first book I read as a teenager that tried to connect seemingly disparate things into a single narrative - culture, technology, luck.…
……除了之前提到的那些材料，如果你想补齐这个劣势、打牢基本功的话：大卫·格雷伯（David Graeber）的《债：第一个5000年》（Debt, the first 5000 years）、亚当·斯密的《国富论》（The Wealth of Nations）、大卫·兰德斯的《国富国穷》（The Wealth and Poverty of Nations）。
…addition to the previous referenced material if you want to correct that disadvantage and learn the fundamentals. Debt, the first 5000 years by David Graeber The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith The Wealth and Poverty of Nations by David Landes
聊到经济发展这个话题，大卫·兰德斯的作品非常值得一读，《解放了的普罗米修斯》（The Unbound Prometheus）和《国富国穷》都对西欧在过去500年间崛起背后的原因给出了扎实的剖析。五小龙（中国台湾、韩国、中国香港、新加坡、日本）基本上走的是……
On the topic of economic development, David Landes is worth reading, both the Unbound Prometheus and The Wealth and Poverty of Nations provide a solid understanding of the reasons behind the development of Western Europe over the past 500 years. The 5 Dragons (Taiwan, South Korea, HK, Singapore, Japan) followed pretty much the same…
这里主要推荐几本经济学方面的书。亚当·斯密的《国富论》和大卫·兰德斯的《国富国穷》都是经济学领域的扛鼎之作。第一本书阐述了经济在微观层面运转所需的基本底层支撑。语言写得非常通俗……
Mostly Economics Recommendations here. The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, and the Wealth and Poverty of Nations by Landes are both pivotal works related to economics. The first book describes the fundamental underpinnings of the requirements for economies to work at the micro level. Its written in a very easy to…
……结构、（产权的）匮乏、垄断行业等等），以及它的重大缺陷——这也是为什么大多数人说它造成的死亡人数比任何其他体制（纳粹、毛等）都要多的原因。然后再读兰德斯的《国富国穷》，读完你应该就能聊得有模有样了。
…structures, (lack of)property rights, monopolistic industry, etc,) and its major failings which is why most people say its responsible for more deaths than any other system (Nazis, Mao, etc). From there, Wealth and Poverty of Nations by Landis and you should then be able to competently speak.
