    结构完整,论述环环相扣,变量选取得当,模型精巧(是的学了一点三脚猫量化之后也开始对别人模型指手画脚了)。最为惊讶的是有种后发制人的思路,阅读时会感觉某些环节有所缺失,但作者很快会在随后章节中补足。若论一点遗憾,或许就是在“资本流动性”方面有点忽略了国际背景和资产金融化的影响,仅以简单农业与工业要素对比作自变量。之前在布朗开会,资本主义发展与民主作者批评此书理论与现实不符,民主政体再分配努力极少云云,这似乎误读了本书的论点:首先作者先谈了收入较平等时条件和各社群倾向有利于民主政体产生和稳固,这与民主建立后运转如何无关;其次作者承认现代化进程中不论民主政体产生与否公共领域开支都会扩大,民主政体本身不带来再分配,但其营造的政治策略和制度环境,其与现代化指标的互动,会大大增加直接转移支付等福利开支。

    上海世纪出版集团出过中文版的《民主与再分配》(地址是http://book.douban.com/subject/5938077/)。关于资产可动性、税收政策和民主/专制政权性质的讨论真让人大开眼界。数据分析部分更是独特而精巧
