Krátky popis
It's rare that a book appears with a fresh perspective on world
affairs, but renowned economist Ha-Joon Chang has some startlingly
original things to say about the future of globalization. In
theory, he argues, the world's wealthiest countries and
supra-national institutions like the IMF, World Bank and WTO want
to see all nations developing into modern industrial societies. In
practice, though, those at the top are 'kicking away the ladder' to
wealth that they themselves climbed.Why? Self-interest certainly
plays a part. But, more often, rich and powerful governments and
institutions are actually being 'Bad Samaritans': their intentions
are worthy but their simplistic free-market ideology and poor
understanding of history leads them to inflict policy errors on
others. Chang demonstrates this by contrasting the route to success
of economically vibrant countries with the very different route now
being dictated to the world's poorer nations.In the course of this,
he shows just how muddled the thinking is in such key areas as
trade and foreign investment. He shows that the case for
privatisation and against state involvement is far from proven. And
he explores the ways in which attitudes to national cultures and
political ideologies are obscuring clear thinking and creating bad
policy.Finally, he argues the case for new strategies for a more
prosperous world that may appall the 'Bad Samaritans'.
