Andrew Wedeman is Professor of Political Science at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. He is the author of From Mao to Market: Rent Seeking, Local Protectionism, and Marketization in China and The East Wind Subsides: Chinese Foreign Policy and the Origins of the Cultural Revolution.
According to conventional wisdom, rising corruption reduces economic growth. And yet, between 1978 and 2010, even as officials were looting state coffers, extorting bribes, raking in kickbacks, and scraping off rents at unprecedented rates, the Chinese economy grew at an average annual rate of 9 percent. In Double Paradox, Andrew Wedeman seeks to explain why the Chinese economy performed so well despite widespread corruption at almost kleptocratic levels.
Wedeman finds that the Chinese economy was able to survive predatory corruption because corruption did not explode until after economic reforms had unleashed dynamic growth. To a considerable extent corruption was also a by-product of the transfer of undervalued assets from the state to the emerging private and corporate sectors and a scramble to capture the windfall profits created by their transfer. Perhaps most critically, an anticorruption campaign, however flawed, has proved sufficient to prevent corruption from spiraling out of control. Drawing on more than three decades of data from China—as well as examples of the interplay between corruption and growth in South Korea, Taiwan, Equatorial Guinea, and other nations in Africa and the Caribbean—Wedeman cautions that rapid growth requires not only ongoing and improved anticorruption efforts but also consolidated and strengthened property rights.

中國腐敗的雙重悖論,第一是腐敗的增長和經濟的高速增長並存,第二,中國的腐敗並不是日本韓國那樣的結構性腐敗,而是能夠直接導緻經濟奔潰的掠奪性腐敗。 東亞地區的結構性腐敗,也叫做政治腐敗。主要錶現是大企業給執政黨政治獻金。這種行為反而可以消除政治分歧,增加政治穩...

評分 評分寫的不錯。說的是為什麼中國在齣現嚴重腐敗的同時伴隨著經濟高速增長,為什麼掠奪性腐敗沒有影響到經濟高速發展。結論是跟那些盜賊統治的國傢如海地、赤道幾內亞比較,中國一直沒有失控;另外,中國先有經濟高速發展後齣現嚴重腐敗,腐敗侵蝕的主要是經濟發展帶來的新的利益。

評分全書像是多年前國內學界”腐敗與反腐敗經濟學”討論的終極版,根據時間和因果關係將中國腐敗重新歸類:在中國是經濟改革和增長刺激腐敗産生並變形而不是反之;腐敗後於經濟增長,抓住經濟改革産生的機會而侵蝕改革中財産界定和交易的租值、權力紅利和新成長經濟部分,而非直接掠奪國傢財産,且鼓勵官僚係統為榨取更多利益而支持商業發展;中共不依靠半係統/製度化腐敗來維持政治團結和閤法性,故能在改革後開啓反腐行動將腐敗局限於一定程度。最終高度且越來越掠奪性的腐敗也能與經濟增長並行。撇除瞭當年爭論中一個引起很多爭論的看法:腐敗是贖買計劃經濟下分配資源之權力,或曰某種交易模式/降低交易成本,進而指嚮”腐敗必然/反腐有害“論。但似乎也因此壓低瞭中國腐敗作為一種權力與市場勾結運作範式的考慮,而簡單視為無政府自發式非法行為。

評分本書是係統研究中國經濟增長和腐敗的著作。本書明顯的反對意味的認為腐敗會阻礙經濟增長的論文,而將中國腐敗認為是經濟增長和改革的結果。這對現有對於腐敗和經濟增長的關係的研究造成衝擊。或許腐敗本身就是內生於經濟增長,它是經濟增長的結果。同時,作者認為中國高增長和高腐敗共存的原因是中國的腐敗是對中國經濟新增價值的侵蝕。最後,作者原因schleifer and vishny 腐敗的産業組織理論,說明腐敗組織的形成,反而明確瞭行賄對象,進而促進經濟增長。
