Before markets opened in 1978, China was an impoverished planned economy governed by a Maoist bureaucracy. In just three decades it evolved into the world's second-largest economy and is today guided by highly entrepreneurial bureaucrats. In How China Escaped the Poverty Trap, Yuen Yuen Ang explains this astonishing metamorphosis. Rather than insist that either strong institutions of good governance foster markets or that growth enables good governance, Ang lays out a new, dynamic framework for understanding development broadly. Successful development, she contends, is a coevolutionary process in which markets and governments mutually adapt.
By mapping this coevolution, Ang reveals a startling conclusion: poor and weak countries can escape the poverty trap by first harnessing weak institutions—features that defy norms of good governance—to build markets. Further, she stresses that adaptive processes, though essential for development, do not automatically occur. Highlighting three universal roadblocks to adaptation, Ang identifies how Chinese reformers crafted enabling conditions for effective improvisation.
How China Escaped the Poverty Trap offers the most complete synthesis to date of the numerous interacting forces that have shaped China’s dramatic makeover and the problems it faces today. Looking beyond China, Ang also traces the coevolutionary sequence of development in late medieval Europe, antebellum United States, and contemporary Nigeria, and finds surprising parallels among these otherwise disparate cases. Indispensable to all who care about development, this groundbreaking book challenges the convention of linear thinking and points to an alternative path out of poverty traps.
感觉跟高中政治书内容非常相似
评分開篇序言第一章與結論挺不錯,尤其在結尾末比照以歐洲、尼日利亞、美國社會發展作參考,中間幾章節通過江西、福建、浙江、湖北四省縣市案例來討論自改革開放以來政府所採取之種種應對之道及結果呈現。由於社會自身獨特屬性,故而很難應用「放之四海而皆準」之定律。驚嘆1970年人均糧食供應量略等於1930年代,1980人均GDP折合當時美元計價193????。另外四縣市譯名翻譯實在有丈二和尚摸不著頭腦之感。想請教一下著者:Upstart County, Forest Hill County, Humble County, Blessed County分別對應那幾個城市,著實費解。
评分1、题目可以称为:穷国该怎样发展——中国经验。2、解释框架:制度与市场的共生演化,即先是弱制度条件下发展经济(建立市场),中是经济项目混乱要求制度改进,后是改进后的制度得以维护市场。 3、其中的具体机制以及中国经验:中央设定原则和红线(既有统一性也有灵活性),权力下放地方开始锦标赛(中央设定规则,保证目标达到),鼓励先富带后富(从东到西,类似雁行模式)。4、其他一些注意的地方:我国的渐进(且广泛)改革模式很不错,个人关系网在全民招商中至关重要但是造成腐败,但是当时中央设定的成功目标主要限定在经济发展而非清廉程度。5、美帝学者通过这本书看到中国问题的复杂性,中国人看了也能有收获,毕竟还是要把复杂问题简单化,对话了一遍许多理论,然后把自己这一套搞出来推广一下也挺合适。主题很重要,访谈做了很多。
评分前面部分非常好,特别是序言,总结得很到位。后面稍微有点松懈。但是总体上是一本不错的书。
评分最近看过的一些书里,文笔好的都不是美国人写的...
