零的代價：中國在新冠疫情期間和其後的政策失誤

de 劉浩典（Donald Low） ...

Series Libro 9 - 跨域視野
這本關於中國經濟的評論集，探討了中國在疫情期間推行清零政策的原因及其經濟後果。書中論述，由於中國最初成功遏制新冠疫情，而大多數已開發國家未能有效控制病毒，清零政策逐漸演變為一種意識形態。推動清零政策的教條思維、自負及烏托邦式信念，同樣也導致了一系列對產業的打壓，儘管這些產業直到近期仍是中國經濟增長與創新的重要來源。其結果是中國經濟急劇下滑，外商直接投資下降，並出現債務通縮現象。與此同時，國家的社會工程師們試圖將經濟轉型為一個科技烏托邦，在未來產業中引領全球。然而，除非決策者承諾推動更深入的市場改革並建立新的社會契約，否則中國的經濟崛起之路恐將面臨危機。　　「劉浩典以毫無保留的態度，深刻剖析了中國當前的困境，在當今這個對中國未來充滿不確定性的時刻顯得彌足珍貴。他的批評建立在穩固的經濟分析與行為學理解之上，毫不畏懼且直言不諱。他對中國錯誤的清零政策所發出的警告，已被證明是極具先見之明的 ...
