Meet the economic gangster. He's the United Nations diplomat who double-parks his Mercedes on New York City streets at rush hour because the cops can't touch him--he has diplomatic immunity. He's the Chinese smuggler who dodges tariffs by magically transforming frozen chickens into frozen turkeys. The dictator, the warlord, the unscrupulous bureaucrat who bilks the developing world of billions in aid. The calculating crook who views stealing and murder as just another part of his business strategy. And, in the wrong set of circumstances, he might just be you.

In Economic Gangsters, Raymond Fisman and Edward Miguel take readers into the secretive, chaotic, and brutal worlds inhabited by these lawless and violent thugs. Join these two sleuthing economists as they follow the foreign aid money trail into the grasping hands of corrupt governments and shady underworld characters. Spend time with ingenious black marketeers as they game the international system. Follow the steep rise and fall of stock prices of companies with unseemly connections to Indonesia's former dictator. See for yourself what rainfall has to do with witch killings in Tanzania--and more.

Fisman and Miguel use economics to get inside the heads of these "gangsters," and propose solutions that can make a difference to the world's poor--including cash infusions to defuse violence in times of drought, and steering the World Bank away from aid programs most susceptible to corruption.

Take an entertaining walk on the dark side of global economic development with Economic Gangsters.

Economic Gangsters is a fascinating exploration into the dark side of economic development… Subjected to their genius, seemingly inconsequential events (like New York City parking tickets and Suharto catching a cold) become potent tools in understanding how the world really works. Rarely has a book on economics been this fun and this important.

— Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics

这本书因为没有中文版,所以看了比较长时间。 这本书立场新颖,采用的事例数据非常独到、有说服力。因为讲到了中国的Gansters,所以有自知知明的天朝应该不会让其在中国大陆出版,近期应该也不会有中文版。

这本书和吴思的《血酬定律》一样,都是从利益角度来分析社会现象,只不过这本书更加侧重于经济问题,而《血酬定律》更加侧重于社会/政治问题。应该说这是一本非常有意思也很有用的书,会帮你学会从利益角度来看待这个世界。掌握了这个理论,你就会理解为什么2010年世界杯决赛中...

哥伦比亚大学的教授Ray Fisman 2001年论文《估计政治背景的价值》。他和另一位同样古灵精怪的发展经济学家,加州伯克利的Ed Miguel把他们这些年的过瘾研究,编成了一本书《经济匪徒》(Economic Gangsters),讲述全世界各地关于腐败,暴力,贫穷,和独裁的故事,精彩极了。但国...
