An informed and excoriating attack on the tragic waste, futility, and hubris of the West's efforts to date to improve the lot of the so-called developing world, with constructive suggestions on how to move forward.
William Easterly's The White Man's Burden is about what its author calls the twin tragedies of global poverty. The first, of course, is that so many are seemingly fated to live horribly stunted, miserable lives and die such early deaths. The second is that after fifty years and more than $2.3 trillion in aid from the West to address the first tragedy, it has shockingly little to show for it. We'll never solve the first tragedy, Easterly argues, unless we figure out the second.
The ironies are many: We preach a gospel of freedom and individual accountability, yet we intrude in the inner workings of other countries through bloated aid bureaucracies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank that are accountable to no one for the effects of their prescriptions. We take credit for the economic success stories of the last fifty years, like South Korea and Taiwan, when in fact we deserve very little. However, we reject all accountability for pouring more than half a trillion dollars into Africa and other regions and trying one "big new idea" after another, to no avail. Most of the places in which we've meddled are in fact no better off or are even worse off than they were before. Could it be that we don't know as much as we think we do about the magic spells that will open the door to the road to wealth?
Absolutely, William Easterly thunders in this angry, irreverent, and important book. He contrasts two approaches: (1) the ineffective planners' approach to development-never able to marshal enough knowledge or motivation to get the overambitious plans implemented to attain the plan's arbitrary targets and (2) a more constructive searchers' approach-always on the lookout for piecemeal improvements to poor peoples' well-being, with a system to get more aid resources to those who find things that work. Once we shift power and money from planners to searchers, there's much we can do that's focused and pragmatic to improve the lot of millions, such as public health, sanitation, education, roads, and nutrition initiatives. We need to face our own history of ineptitude and learn our lessons, especially at a time when the question of our ability to "build democracy," to transplant the institutions of our civil society into foreign soil so that they take root, has become one of the most pressing we face.
我是先看同事的英文版,然后得知出了中文版,欣然购之。 这本书的小标题是《为什么西方的援助总是收效甚微》,作为一个发展工作者来说,很希望知道作者是如何谈的,看有没有什么我,或者中国可以借鉴的。 读完后,我觉得这本书写得太学术了。因为作者只看到了问题的表面,或...
评分这本书的翻译是场灾难,以至于我脑子里竟然蹦出来“诘屈聱牙”这个我十年没用过的成语。 “亚的斯亚贝巴的城市市场上非洲最大的露天市场。这里不缺市场。我到该市场去给孩子们买手工艺品。” 这种翻译灾难现场处处可见,我几乎看到一个高中生英语水平的译者拿着一手稿子一手词...
评分本书的作者详细的记述了白人的西方富裕国家对有色人种的贫穷国家的援助,从几个方面分析了成功与失败的原因,包括外国的援助的大计划和低效率、接受国的政局动荡和腐败横行、国际组织的好大喜功和后殖民主义的伪善野蛮等等…… 作者把援助失败和成功的主要原因归结为计划者和调...

评分褒奖市场经济的问题在于,它忽略了由下至上的调查,而正是它们才是市场得以良好运转的必要条件。很重要的一点是,社会体制和规范必须要防止市场参与者进行“机会主义行为”,更一般地说是“欺诈行为”。市场经济中“看不见的手”使参与者打着社会利益的幌子褒奖个人,唯有利用...
