How Asia Works
Joe Studwell 著,2013 年出版。系统分析东亚经济奇迹的政策逻辑,以及东南亚国家未能跟上的根本原因

日本、韩国、台湾、中国是怎么从赤贫变成工业强国的?Joe Studwell 用历史数据给出了三步答案:先搞土地改革,再用带出口纪律的产业政策,最后让金融服从实业。Scott Alexander 在 Astral Codex Ten 的这篇长书评同时指出,这套配方如今已很难复制,而 IMF 数十年来对发展中国家的标准建议,可能是让数亿人滞留贫困的系统性失误。
From micro interventions, however, economic miracles will not spring.「从微观干预出发,经济奇迹不会诞生。」1
It belongs on the list of science failures that should keep us up at night, alongside all those people saying not to wear masks for COVID. Except that the COVID mistake lasted a few months and killed a 5-6 digit number of people, and the IMF advice lasted decades and kept hundreds of millions in poverty.「COVID 口罩误判持续了几个月,死亡人数在五到六位数。而 IMF 的建议持续了数十年,让数亿人滞留在贫困中。」1
There is no significant economy that has developed successfully through policies of free trade and deregulation from the get-go... Our unwillingness to look this historical fact in the face leaves us with a world in which scores of countries remain immiserated.「没有任何一个重要经济体是靠从起步就推行自由贸易和去管制发展成功的……我们不愿正视这个历史事实,代价是世界上有几十个国家至今仍深陷贫困。」1
"Will we witness an economic transformation like Japan, Korea, Taiwan or China's again? The answer is quite possibly not, for one simple reason." — Joe Studwell,《How Asia Works》1
"It really is striking how the countries that did the best were the ones that gave the world establishment the middle finger." — Scott Alexander,Astral Codex Ten 1
