The Land of Too Much presents a simple but powerful hypothesis that addresses three questions: Why does the United States have more poverty than any other developed country? Why did it experience an attack on state intervention starting in the 1980s, known today as the neoliberal revolution? And why did it recently suffer the greatest economic meltdown in seventy-five years? Although the United States is often considered a liberal, laissez-faire state, Monica Prasad marshals convincing evidence to the contrary. Indeed, she argues that a strong tradition of government intervention undermined the development of a European-style welfare state. The demand-side theory of comparative political economy she develops here explains how and why this happened. Her argument begins in the late nineteenth century, when America's explosive economic growth overwhelmed world markets, causing price declines everywhere. While European countries adopted protectionist policies in response, in the United States lower prices spurred an agrarian movement that rearranged the political landscape. The federal government instituted progressive taxation and a series of strict financial regulations that ironically resulted in more freely available credit. As European countries developed growth models focused on investment and exports, the United States developed a growth model based on consumption. These large-scale interventions led to economic growth that met citizen needs through private credit rather than through social welfare policies. Among the outcomes have been higher poverty, a backlash against taxation and regulation, and a housing bubble fueled by "mortgage Keynesianism." This book will launch a thousand debates.
与现有研究和学派的丰富对话,有洞见的观点,像韦伯一样的将各种遥远的、破碎的元素编织在一起的能力,只是编织得不够紧密,对大财团和产业领导人的角色几乎没有提及,似乎故事不够完整。
评分延续上一本的观点,转而研究了对抗性经济体制是如何产生的。强调农业生产过剩问题在特定政治体制中的展开以及随之而来的有限的路径依赖。方法上而言,从传统史学叙事、比较历史研究到时间序列分析都用上了……但是生产过剩、国际贸易体系的变化并没有被很好的处理。只讨论了政府收入的结构,没有讨论政府支出的结构。
