Economic Gangsters pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Meet the economic gangster. He's the United Nations diplomat who double-parks his Mercedes on New York City streets at rush hour because the cops can't touch him--he has diplomatic immunity. He's the Chinese smuggler who dodges tariffs by magically transforming frozen chickens into frozen turkeys. The dictator, the warlord, the unscrupulous bureaucrat who bilks the developing world of billions in aid. The calculating crook who views stealing and murder as just another part of his business strategy. And, in the wrong set of circumstances, he might just be you.
In Economic Gangsters, Raymond Fisman and Edward Miguel take readers into the secretive, chaotic, and brutal worlds inhabited by these lawless and violent thugs. Join these two sleuthing economists as they follow the foreign aid money trail into the grasping hands of corrupt governments and shady underworld characters. Spend time with ingenious black marketeers as they game the international system. Follow the steep rise and fall of stock prices of companies with unseemly connections to Indonesia's former dictator. See for yourself what rainfall has to do with witch killings in Tanzania--and more.
Fisman and Miguel use economics to get inside the heads of these "gangsters," and propose solutions that can make a difference to the world's poor--including cash infusions to defuse violence in times of drought, and steering the World Bank away from aid programs most susceptible to corruption.
Take an entertaining walk on the dark side of global economic development with Economic Gangsters.
Economic Gangsters is a fascinating exploration into the dark side of economic development… Subjected to their genius, seemingly inconsequential events (like New York City parking tickets and Suharto catching a cold) become potent tools in understanding how the world really works. Rarely has a book on economics been this fun and this important.

评分嘛,development econ果然是要去field study才会做出东西来...
评分我现在已经把这种书当作教科书了。结束语把我感动了。以后倘若我欲写书,也要写这样的书。Good job, Ray and Ted!
评分作者们陷入了迷宫,老是在转圈。一直在提问,却没有给出(确切的)解决方法——除了提出一个Rapid Conflict Prevention Support机制。老是在扯。
评分读的电子版。。。内容正好是我感兴趣的。。。
Interesting and meaningful topics, insightful analysis, that's what I wanna do oneday!

评分开头看的风生水起,结尾有点意兴阑珊。 我感兴趣的是腐败、暴力产生的原因,这本书分析的有些道理。后面是关于腐败问题的解决——米国人民是不懂我们的暗流汹涌的。他们说的方法似乎有效,但是想想,执行起来似乎不会有太大的效果。 就像规划方案,没起子的人做出来的方案看着...
评分如何让我们杀掉年长的亲人,她们甚至是把我们从小养大的祖母或者爸爸的母亲,可是在坦桑尼亚,这是传统。若有人说句正义的话,那也是徒劳的。因为贫穷,所以人的信仰都变成杀人工具。因为贫穷所以战争,因为战争,所以贫穷。
