NEW YORK – In many of history’s most successful economic reforms, clever countries have learned from the policy successes of others, adapting them to local conditions. In the long history of economic development, eighteenth-century Britain learned from Holland; early nineteenth-century Prussia learned from Britain and France; mid-nineteenth-century Meiji Japan learned from Germany; post-World War II Europe learned from the United States; and Deng Xiaoping’s China learned from Japan.
发自纽约——在历史上许多最为成功的经济改革过程中，明智的国家都会借鉴其他国家的成功政策并使之适应本国国情。在经济发展的历史长河中，18世纪的英国拜荷兰为师；19世纪初的普鲁士王国向英国和法国学习；19世纪中明治维新时期的日本借鉴德国；二战后欧洲向美国看齐；而邓小平时期的中国则效仿日本。
