摘要

In the past twenty years economic growth has become an increasingly-mainstream area of inquiry, driven in large part by the extension of general equilibrium macro models to the study of growth. One drawback of these models is that they have very little institutional content, and another line of inquiry in growth theory has emphasized the importance of institutions. These two volumes collect 49 articles that explain the importance of entrepreneur-ship to prosperity, emphasizing the importance of institutions. This institutional approach, in turn, shows the importance of public choice to an area of inquiry that, at first glance, may seem only peripherally related.rnAn important article in this literature-which, curiously, is referenced in the volume's introduction, but not included as a chapter-is Baumol's (1990) article on productive versus destructive entrepreneurship. Baumol argues that there is not much difference in the amount of entrepreneurial activity across countries, but that in some countries institutions push entrepreneurial activities toward rent-seeking and predation. If government policies favor certain groups, and transfer wealth from productive to politically-connected individuals, entrepreneurial individuals have the incentive to develop their political connections and amass political power so that they can be the recipients of wealth produced by others. Productive activity will be discouraged when productive output can be transferred through the political process from the producers to those with political connections, and entrepreneurs will be rent-seekers, not producers. Institutions are crucially important to prosperity, then, and public choice analysis offers the key to understanding why some nations prosper while others languish in poverty.
