The Political Economy of American Industrialization, 1877–1900 . By Richard Franklin Bensel. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2000. Pp. xxiii, 549. $64.95.
本书探讨经济发展与政治民主是否兼容，以及美国在19世纪末如何实现两者兼容，对研究美国发展政治经济学的学者有参考价值。
Are economic development and political democracy compatible? If so, how? Richard Franklin Bensel's latest book answers the first question affirmatively but suggests that compatibility is not inevitable. Most of the book addresses the second question by explaining how the United States accomplished the compatibility feat over the last quarter of the nineteenth century. This rich, intricate analysis demands attention by those interested in the politics and economics of U.S. development.
