经济模式决定上层建筑。解决贫穷问题是社会首要的目的,到底用倾向左的社会福利和保障制度,还是用倾向右的利益为上的制度,一直为经济学家争论不休的课题。
今年的诺贝尔和平得奖者是穆罕默德-尤纳斯,一位在孟加拉发展乡村银行的经济学家。他所取得的成就令人瞩目,而他所坚持的信念可以作为一个很好的启发和参考。谁都知道孟加拉这个国家有多贫穷,在东南亚工作的孟加拉外劳多不胜数。就是在这样的背景下,尤纳斯的微型贷款计划通过波浪效应给了穷人一个又一个的希望,着实令人叫好。穷人需要的不是于事无补的援助,而是机会和尊严。
社会福利普遍上养成人类的惰性,但竞争过于激烈无视他人利益的制度也会削弱人类的善性……这个问题其实很难找到清晰的答案。但无论如何,过分甚至没有必要的援助其实在制造邪恶。 由此可见,马来人的“拐杖”政策,其实究竟在帮助他们还是在毁灭他们,还存有很大的争议。生下来什么都不缺,明明可以健康成长独立走路,却硬要给个拐杖他走,不是在栽培阿斗是什么?即便再穷也可以获得政府关照,不愁衣食住行,哪里还有为幸福奋斗的动力?读书不行,没关系,保送进大学;能力不行,没关系,保证你受雇佣;再不行,送你块田回乡下耕;马来人积弱,到底是民族的特性还是政策的塑造,不言而喻。
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Welcome! 欢迎!@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Welcome to my virtual home. This is a little private space for me to put my thoughts and share my feelings since 2005. Due to my wide range of interests, there are perhaps too many tags. I would explain some of the less obvious tags:
"About Life" is really about how I have been pondering about life and what enlightenments and paradigm shifts I had experienced.
"About Psi" contains most topics about happiness, optimism vs pessimism,
confidence, comparison, pride and prejudice and other psychological aspects.
"About Logical Thinking" is about my own way of interpretating and explaining
certain issues, aiming to debunk (or create?) superficialness of them.
"About Ideology" is about my thoughts on big concepts like freedom, justice,
fairness in society and religion.
"About Society" is more about my observations about the society, often through interactions with different peoples.
"My Country" reveals my frustration, critics and hope
on my homeland - Malaysia.
"My Little Pieces" has more short posts though mostly are written in Mandarin.
While I do have some posts on book reviews and business, I am planning to
separate them into author-specific and content-specific blogs. Stay tuned.
Enjoy your reading!
