The Land of Too Much presents a simple but powerful hypothesis that addresses three questions: Why does the United States have more poverty than any other developed country? Why did it experience an attack on state intervention starting in the 1980s, known today as the neoliberal revolution? And why did it recently suffer the greatest economic meltdown in seventy-five years? Although the United States is often considered a liberal, laissez-faire state, Monica Prasad marshals convincing evidence to the contrary. Indeed, she argues that a strong tradition of government intervention undermined the development of a European-style welfare state. The demand-side theory of comparative political economy she develops here explains how and why this happened. Her argument begins in the late nineteenth century, when America's explosive economic growth overwhelmed world markets, causing price declines everywhere. While European countries adopted protectionist policies in response, in the United States lower prices spurred an agrarian movement that rearranged the political landscape. The federal government instituted progressive taxation and a series of strict financial regulations that ironically resulted in more freely available credit. As European countries developed growth models focused on investment and exports, the United States developed a growth model based on consumption. These large-scale interventions led to economic growth that met citizen needs through private credit rather than through social welfare policies. Among the outcomes have been higher poverty, a backlash against taxation and regulation, and a housing bubble fueled by "mortgage Keynesianism." This book will launch a thousand debates.
Monica Prasad is Associate Professor of Sociology and Faculty Fellow in the Institute for Policy Research at Northwestern University.
太棒瞭!!論述非常嚴謹,邏輯無比縝密,但是又不會偏離對問題的真誠探討。你所能想到的疑惑,作者都能及時給齣瞭解釋。這樣的學術著作讓人受益匪淺。近幾年看過的最好的非虛構!需要少許經濟學基礎。
評分非常喜歡。核心問題是解釋為什麼戰後美國沒有建立歐洲式的福利國傢。從財稅和金融兩個角度切入,分彆解釋戰後纍進稅製、破産製度、銀行監管、信貸製度分彆是如何成形的。揭示19世紀末美國農業大發展以及中西部農業利益集團在其中扮演的重要作用。也涉及金融化、金融危機等問題。字數限製,難以展開。

評分延續上一本的觀點,轉而研究瞭對抗性經濟體製是如何産生的。強調農業生産過剩問題在特定政治體製中的展開以及隨之而來的有限的路徑依賴。方法上而言,從傳統史學敘事、比較曆史研究到時間序列分析都用上瞭……但是生産過剩、國際貿易體係的變化並沒有被很好的處理。隻討論瞭政府收入的結構,沒有討論政府支齣的結構。
有为政府的理念在中国始终是盛行的,近年来尤为昌盛。政府官员抱持这一理念自不待言。在新自由主义退潮和新发展主义兴起的背景下,这一理念在学界的拥趸也日益增多。将中国经济奇迹归功于“两手抓”,即市场“看不见的手”与政府“看得见的手”的联合作用,成为中国模式论(无...

評分上世纪50年代,西欧诸国对美国的崛起感到惊恐,短短半个世纪的时间,美国的GDP翻了一百倍,谁可复制呢?所幸诸国虽热衷于探究美式增长的原因,却并未效仿它。因为巨大的财富不能跟想象中的奢侈和享受划等号,富裕掺杂了挣扎和悲伤。 比较历史学家莫妮卡·普拉萨德创作了《过剩...
