我曾于1997年到1999年11月在世界银行担任首席经济学家。在此期间全球经济经历了半个世纪以来最严重的危机。那次全球经济危机于1997年年7月2日首先在泰国出现。东亚国家经历了将近30年奇迹般的发展收入大增,健康状况得到改善,贫困现象大幅度减少。不仅识字率大幅提高,而且在科学以及数学的国际竞赛中,这个地区的许多国家的表现都超过了美国。其中有些国家甚至在30年里没有经历一个年度的经济衰退。
I was the chief economist at the World Bank from 1997 to November 1999. During this period, the global economy experienced the worst crisis in half a century. The global economic crisis first appeared in Thailand on July 2, 1997. East Asian countries experienced miraculous development gains in nearly 30 years, improved health conditions and marked reduction in poverty. Not only has literacy rates soared, but in many international scientific and math competitions, many countries in the region have outperformed the United States in their performance. Some of these countries did not experience an annual economic recession even in 30 years.
