中文简介:
对于那些对大规模和持续的世界贫困所构成的挑战感兴趣的人来说,这是一门课程,他们希望经济学家能对这个挑战说些有用的话。我们将讨论的问题包括:极端贫困是否已经成为过去?每天生活在一美元以下的经济生活是什么样的?为什么一些国家发展迅速,而另一些国家却远远落在后面?增长能帮助穷人吗?饥荒是不可避免的吗?我们怎样才能结束童工劳动,或者我们应该结束童工劳动?我们如何让学校为穷人服务?我们如何应对疾病负担?微观金融是无价的还是被高估了?没有产权,人生注定是“肮脏、野蛮、短暂”的吗?全球化对穷人有利吗?我们应该把经济发展留给市场吗?我们应该把经济发展留给非政府组织吗?外国援助是帮助还是阻碍?干预的最佳地点在哪里?
课程简介: This is a course for those who are interested in the challenge posed by massive and persistent world poverty, and are hopeful that economists might have something useful to say about this challenge. The questions we will take up include: Is extreme poverty a thing of the past? What is economic life like when living under a dollar per day? Why do some countries grow fast and others fall further behind? Does growth help the poor? Are famines unavoidable? How can we end child labor—or should we? How do we make schools work for poor citizens? How do we deal with the disease burden? Is micro finance invaluable or overrated? Without property rights, is life destined to be "nasty, brutish and short"? Has globalization been good to the poor? Should we leave economic development to the market? Should we leave economic development to non-governmental organizations (NGOs)? Does foreign aid help or hinder? Where is the best place to intervene?
关 键 词: 贫困; 经济发展; 全球化
