在印度,阻碍改革的力量来自社会底层,这似乎与中国的改革阻力来自社会上层各个利益集团的现状相反。几乎所有的公共设施都遇到了瓶颈,不仅政府投资的少,而且对电力、灌溉系统、自来水、交通、教育、医疗供应等基础设施的收费想要提高,也遭到了阻扰。以至于在孟买这样的城市...

The recent economic rise of China and India has attracted a great deal of attention - and justifiably so. Together, the two countries account for one-fifth of the global economy and are projected to represent a full third of the world's income by 2025. Yet, many of the views regarding China and India's market reforms and high growth have been tendentious, exaggerated, or oversimplified. "Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay" scrutinizes the phenomenal rise of both nations, and demolishes the myths that have accumulated around the economic achievements of these two giants in the last quarter century. Exploring the challenges that both countries must overcome to become true leaders in the international economy, Pranab Bardhan looks beyond short-run macroeconomic issues to examine and compare China and India's major policy changes, political and economic structures, and current general performance. Bardhan investigates the two countries' economic reforms, each nation's pattern and composition of growth, and the problems afflicting their agricultural, industrial, infrastructural, and financial sectors. He considers how these factors affect China and India's poverty, inequality, and environment, how political factors shape each country's pattern of burgeoning capitalism, and how significant poverty reduction in both countries is mainly due to domestic factors - not global integration, as most would believe. He shows how authoritarianism has distorted Chinese development while democratic governance in India has been marred by severe accountability failures. Full of valuable insights, "Awakening Giants, Feet of Clay" provides a nuanced picture of China and India's complex political economy at a time of startling global reconfiguration and change.
不过大体意思我是同意作者的:中国今天的市场经济搞得更好,很大程度上是中国前三十年是更好的社会主义者——各类社会投资做得比印度更好。(此处再次响应前三十年和后三十年要是不能割裂看待的!)而就算在后三十年,中国的政治体制让中国能更好地开展各类改革(以克服地方利益)和作公共投资。只是作者没有对中国的政治体制*如何*实现这些目标作更细致的分析,而这在我看来才是更关键的事情。
评分interesting, china's authoritarianism and india's democratism could be roadblocks for their own further development. on one hand, state-led capitalism help build the rapidly economic growth, on other hand, it squeezes the benefits of SME and leads lingering bureaucratic rigidity and nepotism. caste and ethic line restrict mobility of elite in india

评分比较中国和印度的社会经济发展,更多时候是转型序列、制度安排、社会情境的差异,而远非民主/不民主的政治性问题所能概括。这本书不仅丰富了对印度的理解,而且也为理解我们自己开启了一个新的视角。比如劳动密集型的产业结构方能让农村劳动力完成现代化转型,比如官员与资本的紧密联系能够提高发展效率,比如前三十年的平均主义和基础设施建设为经济腾飞奠定了不可或缺的基础。第十章更是精华,照应了民主与发展的经典问题,说明集权体制对于发展既不是“必须”的也不是“足够”的。而印度的民主并不能够像理论上说的那样让政治家注重于提供社会保障,有种族的原因,也有地方政府资源和能力有限的原因。中国的非民主体制,也在危机处理、信息流动和合法性上有着深刻的隐患。除此之外,这本书也为如何进行宏观的政治经济分析提供了一个良好的范例。
