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.
大脸怪蜀黍。。。
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。
评分写的很好,discuss the reasons why western aids are so inefficient (the top-bottom approach) and provide some possible solutions.

评分翻了第一章,感觉意见较中肯,但文风不喜……
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...
评分现在在英国上学。看到了稻草人在这本书下的评论,有感而发。 稻草人的“阴谋论”虽然有点浓,但确实是关于援助一种批判思想。我说的不是中国学界,而是西方学界自己认为的。类似观点还有《援助的死亡》,最近比较火的。认为由于机构本身存在维持自己生存的动因,援助国援助也是...
评分前几天从《厕所决定健康:粪便、公共卫生与人类世界》那本书上了解到,死于有粪便引起的疾病的人数要远远多于死于艾滋病、疟疾等的人数。那为什么不给他们资助厕所或者公共为什么设施呢?就因为厕所或者说处理粪便的设备不体面?但是,西方人还是要拍拍脑门想清楚了,他们到底...
评分近期,舆论对于社会中层出不穷的慈善组织讨论不断,很多人将目光投向政府监管、独立审计、杜绝腐败等观点。然而关于发展慈善这件事,其根本的援助计划本身究竟是不是存在问题呢?在慈善援助已经有相当长历史的西方社会,为何慈善仍然展现出令人难以忍受的低效? 《...
