怎样解释东亚取得的引人瞩目的经济成就?职业经济学家和国际金融机构都认为,东亚各国经济获得成功主要是由于政府奉行对资本主义市场经济自然引导不予干预的政策。世界上其它发展中国家都没有能有效地克制政府干预,由此而使人民付出了高昂的代价。这种“新自由主义”的观点强调东亚的重要意义在于接近于自由贸易制度、合理的汇率、保守的政府预算、高利率和自由的劳动力市场。香港就是这样的典范. How to explain the notable economic achievements made by East Asia? Professional economists and international financial institutions all agree that the success of the economies of East Asian countries is mainly due to the government’s policy of not intervening in the natural guiding of the capitalist market economy. Neither other developing countries in the world have been able to effectively curb government interference, thereby putting the people at a high price. This “neo-liberal” view emphasizes the importance of East Asia as being close to a free trade system, a reasonable exchange rate, a conservative government budget, a high interest rate and a free labor market. Hong Kong is such an example.
