诺瓦瑈是加州大学尔湾分校(University of California, Irvine)经济学教授,大家知道在美国教授是终身制,当上了只要不是胡搞之类的,混混也能混到老。诺瓦瑈对经济的兴趣远远不如对其他的兴趣,包括从政(参过选),还有阴谋论。
如果你是淳粉,即使不知道诺瓦瑈是谁,估计一定看过这自制录像(“新闻片”):
Death By China
这就是诺瓦瑈的阴谋论,他的杰作:中国是全人类的大罪人。
淳朴的谋士摩尔是支持自贸的,诺瓦瑈反对,尤其反华。平心静气,大家对自贸的共识是“总体改善,分配不均”,这一认识不是新的,即使外行,对经济学有兴趣的也知道这已经有过百年了(问问英国自由经济的大本营伦敦经济和政治学院(London School of Economics and Political Science)和经济学人杂志《Economist》),唯一的问题是如何分配贸易带来的利益。贸易毫无疑问会淘汰一些行业,很简单的常识,在一个国家内,只要有竞争、创新、技术生产过程更新,行业就会被淘汰,但整体效率大幅提高,价值也更大,民众的生活水平也会越来越好,现在你只要把国内经济大市场换成国际经济大市场,就能知道后果。
据《大西洋月刊》介绍,美国其实有个专门对付贸易不均衡的机制和机构,叫“Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA). Created in 1974,”。然而这个机制和负责行使这一机制的机构基本上是个失败,主要的原因是当地缺乏经济活力,从而没有相应的就业机会,而被贸易冲击的工人因为对居住地的依恋和缺乏“移动能力(mobility)”而无法搬迁到其它有机会的大都市。走不开,跟美国人与房子的密切关系有关:当地经济受打击,房价也下跌,房子借的钱成了亏的,没法还,只能死呆在那儿。
(“truly disappointing,” “not only wrong, but foolish,” “magical thinking,” “a complete mess,” and the sort of thing “that would get you flunked out of an AP economics class”,接链。)为什么一个打着经济招牌的人张口胡诌还有市场呢?这跟淳朴大嘴一张诸多厥词一样,大家觉得怨,被排挤,精英不理他们,克林顿也不理他们,现在不论谁出来说出自己的心声,再荒谬也能接受。这就是为什么诺瓦瑈和淳朴一拍即合。
即使是今天,淳朴的动机依旧超过了淳粉的想象:

(一)这“限制资本”是忽悠吧?不就是筑垒吗?资本限制不住,你大概对世界相互依赖性的认识跟淳朴一个层次。
(二)说的对,中国操纵,中国是担心人民币跌的过头,干预让它升值。反观日本,日元是流通,你大概不是孤陋寡闻吧?

谢谢分享,可怜的是一些人竟相信一个不靠谱的人会改天癖地把床補当救命稻草。
听说他的生意出了问题,在大西洋城的那摊已经不行了,不知真假。 看来今后中国会成为他的市场。

他根本就没有任何具体措施,计划,和经验来管理这个国家。
