We are all aware of the extreme hunger and poverty that afflict the world's poor. We hear the facts, see the images on television, buy the T-shirt and are moved as individuals and governments to dig deep into our pockets. Yet what happens to all this aid? Why after 50 years and $2.3 trillion are there still children dying for lack of twelve cents medicine? Why are there so many people still living on less than $1 a day without clean water, food, sanitation, shelter, education or medicine? In The White Man's Burden William Easterly, acclaimed author and former economist at the World Bank, addresses these twin tragedies head on. While recognising the energy and compassion behind the campaign to make poverty history he argues urgently and powerfully that grand plans and good intentions are a part of the problem not the solution. Giving aid is not enough, we must ensure that it reaches the people who need it most and the only way to make this happens is through accountability and by learning from past experiences. Without claiming to have all the answers, William Easterly chastises the complacent and patronising attitude of the West that attempts to impose solutions from above. In this book, which is by turns angry, moving, irreverent but always rigorous, he calls on each and everyone of us to take responsibility, whether donors, aid workers or ordinary citizens, so that more aid reaches the people it is supposed to help, the mother who cannot feed her children, the little girl who has to collect firewood rather than go to school, the father who cannot work because he has been crippled by war.

读后感
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...
评分前几天从《厕所决定健康：粪便、公共卫生与人类世界》那本书上了解到，死于有粪便引起的疾病的人数要远远多于死于艾滋病、疟疾等的人数。那为什么不给他们资助厕所或者公共为什么设施呢？就因为厕所或者说处理粪便的设备不体面？但是，西方人还是要拍拍脑门想清楚了，他们到底...

评分现在在英国上学。看到了稻草人在这本书下的评论，有感而发。 稻草人的“阴谋论”虽然有点浓，但确实是关于援助一种批判思想。我说的不是中国学界，而是西方学界自己认为的。类似观点还有《援助的死亡》，最近比较火的。认为由于机构本身存在维持自己生存的动因，援助国援助也是...
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...

写的很好，discuss the reasons why western aids are so inefficient (the top-bottom approach) and provide some possible solutions.
评分翻了第一章，感觉意见较中肯，但文风不喜……
评分Easterly的文风让人觉得舒服，论点也让人无法反驳啊！
评分绝对的强者面对绝对的弱者，无法产生同理心或认同感的情况下，仅用金钱等物质形式施舍援助释放同情心，不过是用居高临下的怜悯以满足自己的道德优越感罢了；甚至更阴暗的是让弱者依附于他们而存在，从而好夺取他们身后丰富的自然资源。这样不仅不会帮助弱者真正成长被他们感激，反而会被弱者的自卑感和嫉妒心反噬发展成仇恨。授人以鱼不如授人以渔，这点上中国人以华为为代表的中国企业更聪明。
