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.
发展研究经典著作。伊斯特利点出西方援助失败的核心原因是缺乏责任与反馈机制,因此他赞成由下而上、且配有科学评估方法的小规模发展项目。每个argument都由对案例的分析发展而来,语言生动所以读起来挺有意思的。
评分翻了第一章,感觉意见较中肯,但文风不喜……
评分Easterly的文风让人觉得舒服,论点也让人无法反驳啊!

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。
本书的作者详细的记述了白人的西方富裕国家对有色人种的贫穷国家的援助,从几个方面分析了成功与失败的原因,包括外国的援助的大计划和低效率、接受国的政局动荡和腐败横行、国际组织的好大喜功和后殖民主义的伪善野蛮等等…… 作者把援助失败和成功的主要原因归结为计划者和调...
评分William Easterly在<The white man's burden>一书的开篇提出一个问题"why the west's efforts to aid the rest have done so much ill and so little good?"为什么西方数年超过万亿美元的非洲援助依然不能改变非洲的现状?贫穷,疾病,战火···从来没有从那片土地上消失过。...
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? 《...
