来自世界上最著名的发展经济学家之一——对西方为改善所谓的发展中国家的命运而做出的悲惨的傲慢行为进行了严厉的攻击。
“在诊断西方干预第三世界的失败方面表现出色。” -工作周
威廉·伊斯特利在他的上一本书《难以捉摸的增长追求》中批评了西方组织在减轻全球贫困方面完全无效，他很快就被当时的雇主世界银行解雇了。 《白人的负担》是他广受期待的反击——对西方针对世界穷人的经济政策的精彩而激烈的控诉。 伊斯特利时而愤怒，时而不敬，但总是头脑清醒、严谨，他认为，我们西方人需要面对自己的无能历史，并得出正确的结论，特别是在我们移植西方制度的能力受到质疑的时候。 成为我们面临的最紧迫的问题之一。

by William Easterly 2007
From one of the world’s best-known development economists—an excoriating attack on the tragic hubris of the West’s efforts to improve the lot of the so-called developing world.
"Brilliant at diagnosing the failings of Western intervention in the Third World." —BusinessWeek
In his previous book, The Elusive Quest for Growth, William Easterly criticized the utter ineffectiveness of Western organizations to mitigate global poverty, and he was promptly fired by his then-employer, the World Bank. The White Man’s Burden is his widely anticipated counterpunch—a brilliant and blistering indictment of the West’s economic policies for the world’s poor. Sometimes angry, sometimes irreverent, but always clear-eyed and rigorous, Easterly argues that we in the West need to face our own history of ineptitude and draw the proper conclusions, especially at a time when the question of our ability to transplant Western institutions has become one of the most pressing issues we face.
