We are all aware of the extreme hunger and poverty that afflict the world's poor. We hear the facts, see the images on television, buy the T-shirt and are moved as individuals and governments to dig deep into our pockets. Yet what happens to all this aid? Why after 50 years and $2.3 trillion are there still children dying for lack of twelve cents medicine? Why are there so many people still living on less than $1 a day without clean water, food, sanitation, shelter, education or medicine? In The White Man's Burden William Easterly, acclaimed author and former economist at the World Bank, addresses these twin tragedies head on. While recognising the energy and compassion behind the campaign to make poverty history he argues urgently and powerfully that grand plans and good intentions are a part of the problem not the solution. Giving aid is not enough, we must ensure that it reaches the people who need it most and the only way to make this happens is through accountability and by learning from past experiences. Without claiming to have all the answers, William Easterly chastises the complacent and patronising attitude of the West that attempts to impose solutions from above. In this book, which is by turns angry, moving, irreverent but always rigorous, he calls on each and everyone of us to take responsibility, whether donors, aid workers or ordinary citizens, so that more aid reaches the people it is supposed to help, the mother who cannot feed her children, the little girl who has to collect firewood rather than go to school, the father who cannot work because he has been crippled by war.
Easterly的文风让人觉得舒服,论点也让人无法反驳啊!
评分发展研究经典著作。伊斯特利点出西方援助失败的核心原因是缺乏责任与反馈机制,因此他赞成由下而上、且配有科学评估方法的小规模发展项目。每个argument都由对案例的分析发展而来,语言生动所以读起来挺有意思的。
评分大实话,慈善不是正常商业运作无法参与市场经济,免费薅来的东西大家不用,得根据实际支付能力让他们去买。——这说的是正常情况,可不是突发灾难人道救援呀,我怀疑x会跑去卖物资是拿了这个理论基础,如果那帮玩意也看书的话,如果他们也需要假装为了经济好。
评分翻了第一章,感觉意见较中肯,但文风不喜……
评分翻了第一章,感觉意见较中肯,但文风不喜……
本书的作者详细的记述了白人的西方富裕国家对有色人种的贫穷国家的援助,从几个方面分析了成功与失败的原因,包括外国的援助的大计划和低效率、接受国的政局动荡和腐败横行、国际组织的好大喜功和后殖民主义的伪善野蛮等等…… 作者把援助失败和成功的主要原因归结为计划者和调...
评分褒奖市场经济的问题在于,它忽略了由下至上的调查,而正是它们才是市场得以良好运转的必要条件。很重要的一点是,社会体制和规范必须要防止市场参与者进行“机会主义行为”,更一般地说是“欺诈行为”。市场经济中“看不见的手”使参与者打着社会利益的幌子褒奖个人,唯有利用...
评分我是先看同事的英文版,然后得知出了中文版,欣然购之。 这本书的小标题是《为什么西方的援助总是收效甚微》,作为一个发展工作者来说,很希望知道作者是如何谈的,看有没有什么我,或者中国可以借鉴的。 读完后,我觉得这本书写得太学术了。因为作者只看到了问题的表面,或...
评分这本书的翻译是场灾难,以至于我脑子里竟然蹦出来“诘屈聱牙”这个我十年没用过的成语。 “亚的斯亚贝巴的城市市场上非洲最大的露天市场。这里不缺市场。我到该市场去给孩子们买手工艺品。” 这种翻译灾难现场处处可见,我几乎看到一个高中生英语水平的译者拿着一手稿子一手词...
评分William Easterly在<The white man's burden>一书的开篇提出一个问题"why the west's efforts to aid the rest have done so much ill and so little good?"为什么西方数年超过万亿美元的非洲援助依然不能改变非洲的现状?贫穷,疾病,战火···从来没有从那片土地上消失过。...
