The Elusive Quest for Growth pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Since the end of World War II, economists have tried to figure out how poor countries in the tropics could attain standards of living approaching those of countries in Europe and North America. Attempted remedies have included providing foreign aid, investing in machines, fostering education, controlling population growth, and making aid loans as well as forgiving those loans on condition of reforms. None of these solutions has delivered as promised. The problem is not the failure of economics, William Easterly argues, but the failure to apply economic principles to practical policy work.<br /> <br /> In this book Easterly shows how these solutions all violate the basic principle of economics, that people--private individuals and businesses, government officials, even aid donors--respond to incentives. Easterly first discusses the importance of growth. He then analyzes the development solutions that have failed. Finally, he suggests alternative approaches to the problem. Written in an accessible, at times irreverent, style, Easterly’s book combines modern growth theory with anecdotes from his fieldwork for the World Bank.

评分#这本书应该用哈利波特里面的一本杂志的名字来定性,叫“唱唱反调”
作者在世行专门做欠发达国家的扶贫工作,见多识广,有不少经验之谈。按照作者的观点,没有合适的制度安排,无论投资,贷款,引进技术或是豁免债务,对后进国家的经济增长都无济于事。这一观察与德索托《资本的秘密》以及《伟大的中国工业革命》的结论是相通的。没有合适的制度...

评分 评分按照凯恩斯的“自信”,政治学家、商人、芸芸众生其实都是某个已故经济学家的奴隶。同时,本特利也提醒世人,业余经济学家是非常危险的。两个截然相左的观点都揭示出经济思想的巨大力量,不过凯恩斯所说的是一种经济学帝国主义,而本利特则想表明,经济学给社会带来的后果有可...
