Making It Count pdf epub mobi 圖書描述

In 1949, at the end of a long period of wars, one of the biggest challenges facing leaders of the new People’s Republic of China was how much they did not know. The government of one of the world’s largest nations was committed to fundamentally reengineering its society and economy via socialist planning while having almost no reliable statistical data about their own country. Making It Count is the history of efforts to resolve this “crisis in counting.” Drawing on a wealth of sources culled from China, India, and the United States, Arunabh Ghosh explores the choices made by political leaders, statisticians, academics, statistical workers, and even literary figures in attempts to know the nation through numbers.

Ghosh shows that early reliance on Soviet-inspired methods of exhaustive enumeration became increasingly untenable in China by the mid-1950s. Unprecedented and unexpected exchanges with Indian statisticians followed, as the Chinese sought to learn about the then-exciting new technology of random sampling. These developments were overtaken by the tumult of the Great Leap Forward (1958–61), when probabilistic and exhaustive methods were rejected and statistics was refashioned into an ethnographic enterprise. By acknowledging Soviet and Indian influences, Ghosh not only revises existing models of Cold War science but also globalizes wider developments in the history of statistics and data.

Anchored in debates about statistics and its relationship to state building, Making It Count offers fresh perspectives on China’s transition to socialism.

對這本書的期待值還挺高，但讀下來有點失望。書並不差，但和好似乎距離遠瞭一點。第三四章最有意思，討論瞭一些非常具體的本體論、認識論、方法論上的政治（但這些具體的方法帶來的社會後果卻沒細講，統統納入完整統計後果中瞭），除此之外不像是科學史，像是普通的中國史在統計界的應用，因此很多章節對稍稍瞭解那段曆史的人都都沒什麼新意和信息，很多段落都像是中文報告的翻譯（也許有史料的價值？）。經常從對中央或者一些大政的概括突然就轉到瞭地方上實施的成果，而這中間的最有意思的實施過程卻都被略過瞭（不確定是不是因為沒有資料），卻在另外一些特彆奇怪的地方描述詳盡（比如某人的行程和教課內容）。標題中令人好奇的”statecraft“也在這種寫作中被略過。理論上基本是順著波特和哈金來講，也提瞭曼，但都沒什麼新的貢獻。

從統計的角度看state capacity/incapacity。全方麵書寫毛時代的統計史，成功建立起瞭一套非常自圓其說的narrative: 從1950s的exhaustive enumeration + periodic reporting system, 到1957年嚮印度藉鑒random sample survey的經驗，再到反右+大躍進期間的typical survey主導。推動綫性敘事的深層動力是冷戰下三種意識形態和政治力量的角逐: 排除數學和自然科學的社會主義統計（exhaustive） vs.建立在概率論上“馴服”偶然的資本主義的統計(stochastic) vs. Maoist的民族誌-群眾路綫式“調查報告.”(Ethnographic)

期待已久的Ghosh博士論文，終於見書。書名Making it Count（算數）一語雙關，國傢隻有會“算數”（statistics）纔能讓其政策“算數”（statecraft）。而這也就意味著，冰冷的統計數字背後其實是變動不居的“統計政治學”：從蘇式的全麵統計（exhaustive），到夭摺的印度式隨機統計（stochastic），再到great leap forward時期復興的毛式定點調查（ethnographic），Ghosh的新著都有詳盡梳理。往上承接Tong Lam討論民國的A Passion for Facts, 往下則使人重思“大數據熱”，甚至是當下疫情中的統計謎團。【不禁感慨一下，Madeleine Zelin門下真是英纔輩齣】
