斯蒂格利茨对“华盛顿共识”的批判

The Criticism of Joseph Stiglitz on Washington Consensus

斯蒂格利茨指出,“华盛顿共识”是指这样一种教条:主张政府的角色最小化、快速的私有化和自由化。而这些“共识”对发展中国家并不适用。“华盛顿共识”要求受援国过快地开放国内市场,让穷国实行紧缩政策,这极易导致金融动荡,进而引发经济危机。

Joseph Stiglitz points out that Washington Consensus is a kind of dogma, the dogma embraces thefollowing arguments: the smaller government the better, the quicker privatelization the better and thefaster liberalization the better. Stiglitz says Washington Consensus doesn't fit the developing countries.Washington Consensus demands the developing countries open their domestic markets quickly and carryout contraction policies. In fact, these policies will lead to financial crisis and economic recession
