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.In a new postscript, the authors look at how economists might use new tools to better understand, and fight back against, corruption and violence in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Take an entertaining walk on the dark side of global economic development with "Economic Gangsters."

評分開頭看的風生水起,結尾有點意興闌珊。 我感興趣的是腐敗、暴力産生的原因,這本書分析的有些道理。後麵是關於腐敗問題的解決——米國人民是不懂我們的暗流洶湧的。他們說的方法似乎有效,但是想想,執行起來似乎不會有太大的效果。 就像規劃方案,沒起子的人做齣來的方案看著...
評分這本書和吳思的《血酬定律》一樣,都是從利益角度來分析社會現象,隻不過這本書更加側重於經濟問題,而《血酬定律》更加側重於社會/政治問題。應該說這是一本非常有意思也很有用的書,會幫你學會從利益角度來看待這個世界。掌握瞭這個理論,你就會理解為什麼2010年世界杯決賽中...
