中国经济是怎样如此快速发展的?——五种巧合的交汇

How has Chinese Economy Developed So Rapidly? The Concurrence of Five Paradoxical Coincidences

本文检视五种悖论巧合,分别关乎土地、资本、劳动力、创业人才和技术五个方面,论证其偶然的并存和交汇可以较充分地解释中国近35年来惊人的快速发展。它们同时也揭露了与其一起呈现的三大问题——极端的社会不公、压制性的官僚体制以及严峻的环境危机产生的根源。

This article examines five surprising and historically contingent coincidences,pertaining separately to land,capital,labor,entrepreneurship and technological innovation,whose concurrence and confluence go a long way toward explaining China's remarkable record of development in the past 35 years. They also reveal the roots of the problems that have accompanied that development:gross social inequality,a persistent and oppressive bureaucracy,and a drastic environmental crisis.
