这本书因为没有中文版,所以看了比较长时间。 这本书立场新颖,采用的事例数据非常独到、有说服力。因为讲到了中国的Gansters,所以有自知知明的天朝应该不会让其在中国大陆出版,近期应该也不会有中文版。
评分是本警醒人的书。 书中提到非洲个各国、越南、中国及其他发展中国家在经济转型时的一种思考。 当非洲各国落入贫穷陷阱时,主要是降水导致农产品欠收,年轻人加入反叛军; 文化差异使非洲各国没认同感,经济黑帮掌握大权,国际组织无法确切扶贫而是进入贪腐官员口袋。 肯定世界...

评分腐败是个特别容易引起争论的话题。有人认为腐败之所以存在是因为没有民主,如果给人民彻底的监督权,就不会有腐败。另有人则认为在中国这样的特定环境中,让高层震慑贪官才是最有效的办法。这种争论其实往往都是空对空,很多人只不过出于自身的意识形态来决定站在哪一边,谁也...

Meet the economic gangster. He's the United Nations diplomat who double-parks his Mercedes on New York City streets at rush hour because the cops can't touch him--he has diplomatic immunity. He's the Chinese smuggler who dodges tariffs by magically transforming frozen chickens into frozen turkeys. The dictator, the warlord, the unscrupulous bureaucrat who bilks the developing world of billions in aid. The calculating crook who views stealing and murder as just another part of his business strategy. And, in the wrong set of circumstances, he might just be you.
In Economic Gangsters, Raymond Fisman and Edward Miguel take readers into the secretive, chaotic, and brutal worlds inhabited by these lawless and violent thugs. Join these two sleuthing economists as they follow the foreign aid money trail into the grasping hands of corrupt governments and shady underworld characters. Spend time with ingenious black marketeers as they game the international system. Follow the steep rise and fall of stock prices of companies with unseemly connections to Indonesia's former dictator. See for yourself what rainfall has to do with witch killings in Tanzania--and more.
Fisman and Miguel use economics to get inside the heads of these "gangsters," and propose solutions that can make a difference to the world's poor--including cash infusions to defuse violence in times of drought, and steering the World Bank away from aid programs most susceptible to corruption.
Take an entertaining walk on the dark side of global economic development with Economic Gangsters.
Economic Gangsters is a fascinating exploration into the dark side of economic development… Subjected to their genius, seemingly inconsequential events (like New York City parking tickets and Suharto catching a cold) become potent tools in understanding how the world really works. Rarely has a book on economics been this fun and this important.
— Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics
我现在已经把这种书当作教科书了。结束语把我感动了。以后倘若我欲写书,也要写这样的书。Good job, Ray and Ted!
评分贪污没想象中那么坏,坏的是贪了还什么都没做好。廉洁没想象中那么好,好的是用预算做好了事情不管怎么折腾的
评分断断续续读了八年的书,真是拖延重度患者。不过也有书的原因,前几章精彩纷呈扣人心弦,到了后来就有点聱牙詰屈,一直纠结于学术结论的可靠性。总体上非常流畅好读的偏学术性的科普书,比起类似的freaknomics在推论上严谨太多了
评分作者们陷入了迷宫,老是在转圈。一直在提问,却没有给出(确切的)解决方法——除了提出一个Rapid Conflict Prevention Support机制。老是在扯。
评分不管从英语学习还是专业知识增加上都值得阅读
