专制与民主的社会起源：现代世界形成过程中的地主和农民
(us) Barrington Moore
The author of "The Social Origins of Democracy and Autocracy" is Barrington Moore, a well-known contemporary American sociology and history expert. This book is a historical treatise with a broad vision. This book is a major challenge to Western orthodox modernization theory. It attacks the traditional Western view that capitalism and Western democracy are the only way and final destination to enter modern industrial society. It also points out, based on revealing a large number of historical facts, that Western democracy is only the fruit of a specific historical environment, and the historical path to modern society and the corresponding political system form are formal. After this book was published in 1966, it aroused widespread repercussions in European and American cultural and ideological circles, marking a major turning point in American social thought at that time. Once published, this book became a Western academic classic and was hailed as "a major exploration of human society and history." The author was awarded the Woodrow Wilson Award and the MacGyver Award.
