作为经济学家,能够身体力行地为社会直接作出贡献非常之少见。萨克斯值得尊重与敬仰。 这本书涉及到多个国家的经济改革,也有助于了解世界最新的发展。书中对中国经济的改革评价也很到位。
评分看完的感触就是这是一个靠谱的有良心的说真话的经济学家,没有说教,只有忧心忡忡的陈述,而且那么真诚,就好像一个普通的美国中产阶级在担心他家花园的游泳池里腐烂的叶子已经快要堵塞出口一般可信,对于其他国家的评语因为没有调查没有发言权,但是对于中国的诊断,起码比...
评分这本书比最底层的10亿人出版要早,刚好读完了Bottom Billion,觉得两本还蛮适合对照着一起读的。 但是说实话,觉得Sachs的书逻辑关系不够清楚:穷国有困难,光靠自己无法重新振作经济——但是为什么结论就是第一世界应该加大捐款力度呢? 反观Bottom Billion作者及其团队,则是...

Celebrated economist Jeffrey Sachs has a plan to eliminate extreme poverty around the world by 2025. If you think that is too ambitious or wildly unrealistic, you need to read this book. His focus is on the one billion poorest individuals around the world who are caught in a poverty trap of disease, physical isolation, environmental stress, political instability, and lack of access to capital, technology, medicine, and education. The goal is to help these people reach the first rung on the "ladder of economic development" so they can rise above mere subsistence level and achieve some control over their economic futures and their lives. To do this, Sachs proposes nine specific steps, which he explains in great detail in The End of Poverty. Though his plan certainly requires the help of rich nations, the financial assistance Sachs calls for is surprisingly modest--more than is now provided, but within the bounds of what has been promised in the past. For the U.S., for instance, it would mean raising foreign aid from just 0.14 percent of GNP to 0.7 percent. Sachs does not view such help as a handout but rather an investment in global economic growth that will add to the security of all nations. In presenting his argument, he offers a comprehensive education on global economics, including why globalization should be embraced rather than fought, why international institutions such as the United Nations, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank need to play a strong role in this effort, and the reasons why extreme poverty exists in the midst of great wealth. He also shatters some persistent myths about poor people and shows how developing nations can do more to help themselves.
Despite some crushing statistics, The End of Poverty is a hopeful book. Based on a tremendous amount of data and his own experiences working as an economic advisor to the UN and several individual nations, Sachs makes a strong moral, economic, and political case for why countries and individuals should battle poverty with the same commitment and focus normally reserved for waging war. This important book not only makes the end of poverty seem realistic, but in the best interest of everyone on the planet, rich and poor alike.
