The Elusive Quest for Growth pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Since the end of World War II, economists have tried to figure out how poor countries in the tropics could attain standards of living approaching those of countries in Europe and North America. Attempted remedies have included providing foreign aid, investing in machines, fostering education, controlling population growth, and making aid loans as well as forgiving those loans on condition of reforms. None of these solutions has delivered as promised. The problem is not the failure of economics, William Easterly argues, but the failure to apply economic principles to practical policy work.<br /> <br /> In this book Easterly shows how these solutions all violate the basic principle of economics, that people--private individuals and businesses, government officials, even aid donors--respond to incentives. Easterly first discusses the importance of growth. He then analyzes the development solutions that have failed. Finally, he suggests alternative approaches to the problem. Written in an accessible, at times irreverent, style, Easterly’s book combines modern growth theory with anecdotes from his fieldwork for the World Bank.

评分A chatty, simple, enjoyable read.
评分文学气息浓厚的经济学著作,不愧是经典。
评分Easterly是个蛮喜欢抬杠的人啊。
评分很多观点都很有说服力,最好是跟Jeffrey Sachs的论文结合起来看,哈。Easterly的论证总是很踏实,很严谨,而且总是孜孜不倦地跟最顶级的发展经济学家叫板并乐此不疲。最近刚看了一个他6年来第一次破例跟Sachs一起出席学术会议的视频。也是我们学校经济系的教授。经济系就在我们政治系楼上。希望哪天可以在电梯里碰到他,然后趁机练一下我的30秒elevator pitch...teehee
按照凯恩斯的“自信”,政治学家、商人、芸芸众生其实都是某个已故经济学家的奴隶。同时,本特利也提醒世人,业余经济学家是非常危险的。两个截然相左的观点都揭示出经济思想的巨大力量,不过凯恩斯所说的是一种经济学帝国主义,而本利特则想表明,经济学给社会带来的后果有可...
