Why are some countries rich and others poor? In 1500, the income differences were small, but they have grown dramatically since Columbus reached America. Since then, the interplay between geography, globalization, technological change, and economic policy has determined the wealth and poverty of nations. The industrial revolution was Britain's path breaking response to the challenge of globalization. Western Europe and North America joined Britain to form a club of rich nations by pursuing four polices-creating a national market by abolishing internal tariffs and investing in transportation, erecting an external tariff to protect their fledgling industries from British competition, banks to stabilize the currency and mobilize domestic savings for investment, and mass education to prepare people for industrial work. Together these countries pioneered new technologies that have made them ever richer. Before the Industrial Revolution, most of the world's manufacturing was done in Asia, but industries from Casablanca to Canton were destroyed by western competition in the nineteenth century, and Asia was transformed into 'underdeveloped countries' specializing in agriculture. The spread of economic development has been slow since modern technology was invented to fit the needs of rich countries and is ill adapted to the economic and geographical conditions of poor countries. A few countries - Japan, Soviet Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, and perhaps China - have, nonetheless, caught up with the West through creative responses to the technological challenge and with Big Push industrialization that has achieved rapid growth through investment coordination. Whether other countries can emulate the success of East Asia is a challenge for the future.
看完《全球经济史》,最大的感慨就是经济理论像金融分析一样,只能做“事后诸葛亮”。理想很丰满,现实很骨感。 从工业革命以来,全世界各个国家的工业化模式各不相同。没有任何一个国家可以通过照搬另一个国家的模式成为强国。尤其是日本,硬是通过对西方技术采取“诹访法”,...
评分本书主要围绕德国历史学派创始人李斯特的落后国家如何发展工业化的两套模式(“标准模式”和“大推进模式”)对全球经济展开讲述。 标准模式在欧洲和北美地区获得重大成就,主要内容如下: (1)废除内部关税,改善交通条件,建立全国性统一市场。 (2)征收外部关税,保护民族...
评分文/吴情 如果你关注国际新闻,可能不会对英、法、美、德、日、中等国之间经济总量的排名的交替感到陌生。尽管遭受到中国经济崛起的挑战,但美国,在国民生产总值上仍占据着世界第一的位置,而她与某些非洲贫穷国家的差距,也逐渐扩大。为何有的国家穷,有的国家富裕?这一问题...
评分如同书名所言,这真的是一部“very short introduction",对于熟悉的领域,会钦佩于它的精妙、清晰;而对于不熟悉的领域,太过概括则会导致有些看不进去了。 1.人均资本足够高,才能促进资本密集型生产的发展,从而进一步提高人均资本。 2.落后国家若根据比较优势进行贸易,会...
评分参考书目,其实是几篇论文的resume,但是好读多了。提供了一些客观资料和观点,主要研究世界不同国家,或地域的经济发展分歧。
评分后面列了很多数据,有点点枯燥。不过总得来讲条理清晰用词简单,在vsi里算比较不错的我觉得。不过论点并不完全赞成,用工资来解释一切经济发展还是太简单了一点。
评分是我喜欢的李斯特标准理论,对苏联和改革前中国的评价也很客观,文笔流畅读起来很享受。结尾激动人心,the world will have come full circle
评分不像很多vsi一样干巴巴
评分正文第一句:“Economic history is the queen of the social sciences”。
