经济学界关于休克疗法和渐进主义的争论又有了新的发展,这一次是有关发展中和新兴国家的。法国大革命及其对其他欧洲国家的影响,已经作为一个历史案例,在讨论大爆炸改革策略的优缺点时被屡屡提及。文章为1806年后普鲁士和西南德国改革之间的比较提供了一个特别有趣的历史案例研究,这到目前为止并未得到应有的重视。这个案例研究将揭示社会转型过程中经济和政治之间的深层次互动,因而对不同的经济改革策略的评价不能也不应该脱离对政治初始条件的考量。从最近的改革经验来看,一个特别有趣的发现是,普鲁士可能提供了第一个政府被东易北容克(East-Elbian Junkers)俘获的历史案例。
There has been new development in the debate among economists on shock therapy and gradualism, this time with regard to developing and emerging countries. The French Revolution and its impact on other European countries have been repeatedly mentioned as a historical case when discussing the pros and cons of the big bang reform strategy. The article provides a particularly interesting case history study of the comparison between Prussia and the reforms of South-West Germany after 1806, which so far has not received the attention it deserves. This case study will reveal deep-seated interactions between economy and politics in the process of social transformation. Therefore, the evaluation of different economic reform strategies can not and should not be divorced from consideration of the initial conditions of politics. From the recent experience of reform, one particularly interesting finding is that Prussia may provide historical examples of the first government captured by the East-Elbian Junkers.
