The Elusive Quest for Growth pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.

#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”
评分He was amazing in using such layman terms to explain the ideas in economic development. This books gives a very brief and comprehensive view of topics in economic development. it helps me a lot with economic intuitions and also gives me a sense of reality on the ground.
评分In this book, Easterly analyzes the reasons why foreign aid to many third world countries has failed to produce sustainable growth. Can be critically understood by comparison to the works of Jeffry Sachs, Rodrik, Institutionalism economists.
评分文学气息浓厚的经济学著作,不愧是经典。

诺贝尔经济学者罗伯特卢卡斯曾说过“一旦一个人开始思考经济增长问题,他就不会再考虑其他任何问题“。的确如此。经济学的开山鼻祖亚当斯密的经典著作《国富论》,研究的就是国家财富的成因。 可惜经济学不像数学或者物理学,朝着一个大一统的理论发展。经济学,很多时候都是经...
评分有人统计过,经过这20多年的快速发展,中国人均GDP在世界上的排名重新返回了1900年时的排名,大约第一百位。目前国内外经济学家都把目光集中在中国近20年的快速发展上,而很少讨论1900年到1980年中国经济是如何在迷雾中求索的。 作者首先向读者介绍了一些关于贫穷的常识性错...
评分基于一个很好的契机,我有幸拜读了《在增长的迷雾中求索-经济学家在欠发达国家的探险与失败》,这是一本关于发展经济学的书,书封面小姑娘的大眼睛给我留下了深刻的印象。每年世界银行都会为消除贫困,帮助落后国家发展作出很多努力,作者(威廉·伊斯特里 William Easterly,...
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...
