Economic Gangsters pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 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.
— Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics

和那些把經濟學拿來’趣談‘的書很不一樣,這本書雖然也不是學術著作,但相對嚴謹,觀點也新穎卻不嘩眾取寵。主題很明確:如何避免腐敗、暴亂,拯救那些水深火熱中的貧窮國傢。
評分內容沒啥意思,不太感興趣,就當是聯係英文瞭。
評分嗬嗬,第三章驚現魏尚進老師的大名。。。
評分讀的電子版。。。內容正好是我感興趣的。。。
評分是Ray和Ted六篇論文的通俗介紹。但最後一個越南戰爭的論文跟主題太不搭瞭,硬湊上去非常生硬
Interesting and meaningful topics, insightful analysis, that's what I wanna do oneday!

評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。
