大卫·科兹(David M.Kotz),美国马萨诸寒州立大学经济学教授,曾发表过一系列论述苏联和俄罗斯经济的论著。
Over the past few years, many of the former Communist-rule countries of Central and Eastern Europe have taken a steady path toward becoming more or less normal capitalist countries - with Poland and Hungary cases in point. Russia, on the other hand, has experienced extreme difficulties in its attempted transition to capitalism and democracy. The pursuit of Western-endorsed policies of privatization, liberalization, and fiscal austerity have brought Russia growing crime and corruption, a distorted economy, and a trend toward authoritarian government. In their 1996 book for Routledge - "Revolution from Above" - David Kotz and Fred Weir shed light on the underlying reasons for the 1991 demise of the Soviet Union and the severe economic and political problems of the immediate post-Soviet period in Russia. In this new book, the authors bring the story up to date, showing how continuing misguided policies have entrenched a group of super-rich oligarchs, in alliance with an all-powerful presidency, while further undermining Russia's economic potential. New topics include the origins of the oligarchs, the deep penetration of crime and corruption in Russian society, the financial crisis that almost destroyed the regime, the mixed blessing of an oil-dependent economy, the atrophy of democracy in the Yeltsin years, and the recentralization of political power in the Kremlin under President Putin.
这是一本非常重要的书。 首先,我声明我不赞成作者对经济失败和国际环境的轻描淡写,这些因素当然构成了俄国乱局的基础。俄国当时所处的国际环境并不坏,美俄之间合作的气氛在布什时代更浓了(这点可以参见今年2月号《炎黄春秋》);经济政策也还说的过去(%4的增长,而且不是...
评分1986年改革后,双鱼座的戈尔巴乔夫率先放开言论和媒体管制,以期听到知识分子对各种社会现实的真知灼见,促进改革。结果一大批羡慕西方富裕生活的苏联公知,如同禁撸许久的处男一样日夜不停,体无完肤攻击苏联体制,信誓旦旦表示苏联一倒台幸福日子马上来。结果讽刺的是,...

评分苏联作为一个我们甫一出生就已经解体的国家,关于它的历史想象和文本叙述层出不穷,涉及它的叙事熟悉而又陌生,对于它的态度尊敬而又憎厌,再加上斯拉夫语与英语不属于同一个语系,它犹如一个巨大的谜语横亘在我们面前。对于我们这上世纪末诞生的一代而言,比起英语世界,它似...
评分上学期就借的书,两周前才看完。。。当然这不能全怪我。本书的主笔是两位作者中的经济学家,如果换成那位记者老兄,估计我能看的快点。。。 但是书还是非常有趣的。首先两个作者和书的缘起、传播就很好玩。该书的两个作者,大卫•科兹是美国马萨诸塞州立大学的经济学教授,...
