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

读后感

如何让我们杀掉年长的亲人,她们甚至是把我们从小养大的祖母或者爸爸的母亲,可是在坦桑尼亚,这是传统。若有人说句正义的话,那也是徒劳的。因为贫穷,所以人的信仰都变成杀人工具。因为贫穷所以战争,因为战争,所以贫穷。

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...

和那些把经济学拿来’趣谈‘的书很不一样,这本书虽然也不是学术著作,但相对严谨,观点也新颖却不哗众取宠。主题很明确:如何避免腐败、暴乱,拯救那些水深火热中的贫穷国家。

各種貪腐作惡陰謀,可是既然能出版,是不是說明這還只是無關痛癢的一角?
