The Elusive Quest for Growth pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.
威廉·伊斯特利為紐約大學經濟學教授。1985年他榮獲麻省理工學院經濟學博士學位;曾在世界銀行、全球發展中心和國際經濟學研究所任職。他的研究領域包括經濟發展和增長、發展中國傢的微觀經濟學以及政治經濟學。
很多觀點都很有說服力,最好是跟Jeffrey Sachs的論文結閤起來看,哈。Easterly的論證總是很踏實,很嚴謹,而且總是孜孜不倦地跟最頂級的發展經濟學傢叫闆並樂此不疲。最近剛看瞭一個他6年來第一次破例跟Sachs一起齣席學術會議的視頻。也是我們學校經濟係的教授。經濟係就在我們政治係樓上。希望哪天可以在電梯裏碰到他,然後趁機練一下我的30秒elevator pitch...teehee
評分Chap 3: Solow's Surprise: Investment is Not the Key to Growth. Chap 6: The loans that were, the growth that wasn't
評分A chatty, simple, enjoyable read.
評分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.
評分Easterly是個蠻喜歡抬杠的人啊。
《在增长的迷雾中求索》书评 -腾讯财经特约 邱恒明 http://finance.qq.com/a/20061204/000513.htm 把激励搞对多年的国际援助并没有带来发展中国家的经济增长,是经济学错了还是我们错了? 对于经济学家而言,探索国民财富增长的奥秘始终是个令人神往却又极富挑战性...
評分作者说的很对,经济增长依靠多方便因子的综合作用,良好的政府,正确的激励还有运气,经济不发展只需要其中一条就可以造成毁灭性的打击,从这个角度可以解释为什么工业革命发生在英国,英国正好有多方面合适的条件,后续的扩展当然比第一个要容易一些,但也不是很容易,需要多...
評分很多农民往往会在财政补贴和努力耕种之间权衡,而不是像政策的美好愿景那样越补贴越努力,甚至于在北方的一些农村,需要村干部亲自蹲在田间地头没日没夜的监督,才能完成相应的农产品产量。农民在面对选择的时候往往是现实而短视的,也缺乏应有的格局,你会发现很多农户人家比...
評分原来微博上有文章说为什么中国人这么重视高考,是因为相信考上好大学就能找到好工作获得美好人生,所以我们心里一直是觉得基本是知识水平、受教育水平决定个人发展。但是文章里借用《经济增长的迷雾》这本书里的话,说教育其实对国家经济水平的促进作用像一个呼啦圈一样可有可...
評分就个人而言,读书的乐趣就是通过阅读与作者腾云架雾,穿越时空来到另一番天地,感受彼时彼景的温度,自己或欣喜,或悲悯。《经济增长的迷雾》即带我去非洲,又带我去北美;既然我感受到“美国建国之初的野蛮生长的暴力”,又让我感受到“我国古代四大发明却又让我们停留在冷兵...
