结合日韩中东南亚案例,把落后国家需要三步走发展的理论介绍的非常生动简洁,而且频繁回顾总结让人印象深刻,和杨照风格类似好老师的典范。看完对新市场学派的霸道一声叹息,无论经济学发展如何精致,其实还是最符合直接的重商主义可能真正贴近实际。东南亚几个国家都被点名成...

评分历史大潮浩浩荡荡,个人命运与国家发展紧密相连。 政治、民主、经济政策、地理气候、受教育程度、自然资源、人口等等到底什么因素才真正决定一个国家或地区经济的发展? 为什么同为亚洲国家或地区,韩国、台湾、日本、中国经济飞速发展,而菲律宾、泰国、马来西亚、越南等国却...
评分亚洲发展中国家在发展初期成功的三个原因:1)agricultural reforms; 2) export disciplined manufacturing; 3) effective finance system to support the two, which formed to align individuals’ objectives with nations’ main objective. 作者提出华为在2010年就遭到了...
评分观点清晰,论证可信。说到中国的时候,作者还没有预见到互联网中国的努力,还是把视线投射在农业、制造业,金融,政策,国企上。这不能怪作者,谁都预见不了下一个经济增长点是什么。关于中国,他的视角我看还是公允平衡的。 1、农业,联产承包责任制大家都说好,从农民到学者...

In the 1980s and 1990s many in the West came to believe in the myth of an East-Asian economic miracle. Japan was going to dominate, then China. Countries were called “tigers” or “mini-dragons,” and were seen as not just development prodigies, but as a unified bloc, culturally and economically similar, and inexorably on the rise.
Joe Studwell has spent two decades as a reporter in the region, and The Financial Times said he “should be named chief myth-buster for Asian business.” In How Asia Works, Studwell distills his extensive research into the economies of nine countries—Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and China—into an accessible, readable narrative that debunks Western misconceptions, shows what really happened in Asia and why, and for once makes clear why some countries have boomed while others have languished.
Studwell’s in-depth analysis focuses on three main areas: land policy, manufacturing, and finance. Land reform has been essential to the success of Asian economies, giving a kick start to development by utilizing a large workforce and providing capital for growth. With manufacturing, industrial development alone is not sufficient, Studwell argues. Instead, countries need “export discipline,” a government that forces companies to compete on the global scale. And in finance, effective regulation is essential for fostering, and sustaining growth. To explore all of these subjects, Studwell journeys far and wide, drawing on fascinating examples from a Philippine sugar baron’s stifling of reform to the explosive growth at a Korean steel mill.
Thoroughly researched and impressive in scope, How Asia Works is essential reading for anyone interested in the development of these dynamic countries, a region that will shape the future of the world.
Read this right after coming back from Thailand and got a perfect idea of why everything were so fucked up there.
评分分析比较东北亚和东南亚几个国家的经济发展模式,总的来说还是比较公正的书。专门有一章关于中国,比较中肯,至少不是唱衰。
评分从一个历史的角度对东北亚(日本、韩国,台湾及大陆)及东南亚国家发展的对比分析,作者认为平均地权、幼儿工业保护及出口导向提升制造能力,及金融政策的对于长期工业发展的战略性支持是东北亚国家经济发展的最重要因素。完全的市场竞争及金融开放对于发展中国家经济造成负面影响,因为资本是逐利,仅关注于资本的最高回报,而不会长期支持国家工业的战略发展,减少国家技术阶梯上的进步。 很多精彩的观点,如农业的平均化及私有化提高农民的积极性,提高农业产出,为工业的发展提供原料、食物及初期的发展资金,避免进口食物浪费大量的外汇。
评分言简意赅。
