The Elusive Quest for Growth pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.

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。
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...

評分“人们会对激励做出反应。”—威廉•伊斯特利 这样的反应可能是善意的(well, 使大多数人受益的),也有可能是充满恶意(社会性的、遭众人反对的)。不幸的是,它最终会陷入一个恶性循环,比如穷国更穷,恶人更恶,因而贫穷的地方充满了权力寻租的迫切需求。 首先需要询问的...
評分2016年09月18日 扶贫是世界性难题。贫困不仅指资源匮乏,更大的困难在于缺乏获取资源的渠道。因此,扶贫需要破解的第一个悖论在于,如何把资源输送给没有资源接口的人。这如同向一个密封的罐头注水,何其难也! 甘肃康乐县杨改兰杀子惨剧的背景正是如此。无论杨案的直接动因是...
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...
