Asserting historical dependence is an insufficient response to the dilemma of collective action. Historical dependence helps explain why social capital does not fall apart in an instant, especially when people think short-term and only for themselves, but it does not explain why social capital accumulated to begin with, how the collective action dilemma was originally resolved.
历史依赖是对集体困境的无效率的回应,它有助于解释社会资本瞬间不会发生变化,特别是在当人们认为是在较短的时期内或者只是因为他们自身的情况下。然而,它不能解释社会资本积累是如何开始的以及最初解决集体困境的方式。
