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.In a new postscript, the authors look at how economists might use new tools to better understand, and fight back against, corruption and violence in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. Take an entertaining walk on the dark side of global economic development with "Economic Gangsters."

評分是本警醒人的书。 书中提到非洲个各国、越南、中国及其他发展中国家在经济转型时的一种思考。 当非洲各国落入贫穷陷阱时,主要是降水导致农产品欠收,年轻人加入反叛军; 文化差异使非洲各国没认同感,经济黑帮掌握大权,国际组织无法确切扶贫而是进入贪腐官员口袋。 肯定世界...
評分这本书和吴思的《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...
