Boom and bust in Asia 亚洲的兴衰 Going for growth 谋求经济发展 Explaining Asias economic success is as easy asone, two, three 亚洲经济成功的秘诀用三点就足以概括 Jul 13th 2013 |From the print edition How Asia Works: Success and Failure in the Worlds Most Dynamic Region. By Joe Studwell.Grove; 《亚洲是如何运作的论全球最具活力地区的成与败》，Joe Studwell 著。 IN 1989 John Williamson, a British economist in Washington, DC, listed ten economic policiesthat enjoyed the backing of the IMF, the World Bank and many of their clients in LatinAmerica. Whatever the merits of these policies, the Washington consensus, as he called it,proved badly named. Its prescriptionsstabilise, privatise and liberalisehave caused no endof controversy. Almost 25 years later, they get another drubbing in Joe Studwellsprovocative new book, How Asia Works. 1989年，英国经济学家 John Williamson 在华盛顿提出了十条经济政策，受到了国际货币基金组织、世界银行以及拉丁美洲多国的支持这也就是他所谓的华盛顿共识。事实证明，无论这些政策有何种优点，都远远算不上什么共识。共识指出要采取稳定化、私有化和自由化的措施，由此引发了无数争议。大约二十五年后的今天，Joe Studwell 推出了一本措辞激进的新书《亚洲是如何运作的》。在这本书里，Williamson 的这些经济政策又一次被批驳得体无完肤。 |
