Since the end of World War II, economists have tried to figure out how poor countries in the tropics could attain standards of living approaching those of countries in Europe and North America. Attempted remedies have included providing foreign aid, investing in machines, fostering education, controlling population growth, and making aid loans as well as forgiving those loans on condition of reforms. None of these solutions has delivered as promised. The problem is not the failure of economics, William Easterly argues, but the failure to apply economic principles to practical policy work.<br /> <br /> In this book Easterly shows how these solutions all violate the basic principle of economics, that people--private individuals and businesses, government officials, even aid donors--respond to incentives. Easterly first discusses the importance of growth. He then analyzes the development solutions that have failed. Finally, he suggests alternative approaches to the problem. Written in an accessible, at times irreverent, style, Easterly’s book combines modern growth theory with anecdotes from his fieldwork for the World Bank.

评分作者在世行专门做欠发达国家的扶贫工作，见多识广，有不少经验之谈。按照作者的观点，没有合适的制度安排，无论投资，贷款，引进技术或是豁免债务，对后进国家的经济增长都无济于事。这一观察与德索托《资本的秘密》以及《伟大的中国工业革命》的结论是相通的。没有合适的制度...
评分作者说的很对，经济增长依靠多方便因子的综合作用，良好的政府，正确的激励还有运气，经济不发展只需要其中一条就可以造成毁灭性的打击，从这个角度可以解释为什么工业革命发生在英国，英国正好有多方面合适的条件，后续的扩展当然比第一个要容易一些，但也不是很容易，需要多...

评分In this book, Easterly analyzes the reasons why foreign aid to many third world countries has failed to produce sustainable growth. Can be critically understood by comparison to the works of Jeffry Sachs, Rodrik, Institutionalism economists.

评分He was amazing in using such layman terms to explain the ideas in economic development. This books gives a very brief and comprehensive view of topics in economic development. it helps me a lot with economic intuitions and also gives me a sense of reality on the ground.
