| Abstract: | 台灣因第二次世界大戰後的卓越經濟發展而著名：這就是常常被提及的經濟「奇蹟」。台灣的經濟成就不勝枚舉，舉凡有迅速的工業化、持續多年的百分之六到七的GDP成長率、特高的儲蓄率、健全的基礎設施投資、高度的教育及健康水準等等。更令人敬佩的是，成長的益處普遍由大眾共享：台灣於奇蹟期間一直維持著相當低的不平等程度。
許多研究試圖解釋台灣經濟奇蹟的原因何在。以世界銀行為代表的傳統觀點，主要歸功於政府確保適合發展的穩定宏觀經濟環境的政策。其他人則針對東亞的經濟成就提出文化相關的解釋，認為是由於儒家思想重視勤勞和教育。有人甚至覺得威權主義的政權促進了東亞的發展。
本論文主張，以上的解釋太過著重於專家的角色而忽略一般民眾的貢獻。另外，每當論及發展，這些解釋似乎指的只是經濟成長，然而發展的意思應該是增進福祉才對。定義福祉的方法有很多，但關鍵點在於，人們應當享有權利決定自己要追求的是哪一種福祉。因台灣的領導人所達成的高度成長而予以讚美，卻漠視與經濟奇蹟並存的政治壓迫與戒嚴，這是不對的；假定GDP的成長必定會改善人們的生活也是不對的。在第二章，我探討人類發展，以此作為一種新方法，改善傳統以收入為主的經濟發展論。在第三章，我評論台灣經濟奇蹟的主流觀點並對台灣的成功提出不一樣的解釋。在第四章，我探究福祉的各種指標是否在奇蹟之後繼續改善。
Taiwan is famous for its spectacular economic growth after World War II, which has often been called a “miracle.” The list of Taiwan’s economic achievements is long: it includes rapid industrialization, sustained annual GDP growth of six to seven percent, high savings rates, strong investment in infrastructure, and high levels of education and health, to name a few. Even more impressively, the benefits of growth were widely shared: Taiwan had very low levels of inequality throughout the miracle.
Many studies have sought to explain the causes of Taiwan’s economic miracle. The conventional view, as expressed by the World Bank, gives a great deal of credit to government policies that ensured a stable macroeconomic environment for growth. Others have offered cultural explanations for East Asia’s economic success, citing the Confucian emphasis on hard work and education. Some even suggest that East Asian development was facilitated by authoritarian government.
This thesis argues that such explanations focus too much on the role of experts and give short shrift to the contributions of ordinary people. Also, they tend to speak of development as if it refers only to economic growth, when it really ought to mean increased well-being. There are many ways to define well-being, but the key point is that people deserve the right to decide what sort of well-being they want to pursue. It is wrong to praise Taiwan’s leaders for achieving high growth while ignoring the fact that Taiwan’s economic miracle took place during a period of political repression and martial law, and it is also wrong to assume that GDP growth necessarily improves people’s lives. In the first chapter, I explore human development as an improvement on the traditional income-centered approach to economic development. In the second chapter, I critique the mainstream views of Taiwan’s economic miracle and offer some alternative explanations of Taiwan’s success. In the final chapter, I examine whether various aspects of well-being have continued to improve in the years after the miracle. |
