……这里存在一个悖论。你给任何官员开的薪水，既要高到让他们不至于迫切需要受贿，又不能高到吸引那些纯粹为了个人发财才来干这行的人。想深入了解这一点，可以读读简·雅各布斯（Jane Jacobs）写的《生存体系》（Systems of Survival）。
…is a paradox at work here. You need to pay any sort official enough that they aren't desperate for bribes, but not so much that you attract people into the job motivated by personal enrichment. Read "Systems of Survival" by Jane Jacobs for a good study of this.
……从非常独特的文化、人类学和经济学视角来分析腐败的本质。比起新闻里常见的那些人身攻击，这个切入点让人眼前一亮。这本书叫《生存体系》（Systems of Survival），作者是简·雅各布斯。http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_of_Survival
…analysis of the nature of corruption from a very cultural, anthropological and economic perspective. It's a refreshing angle from the typical character assassinations you see in the news. It's called Systems of Survival by Jane Jacobs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_of_Survival

A slight tangent but Jane Jacobs book Systems Of Survival is excellent, thought-provoking and insightful https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_of_Survival
简·雅各布斯的《生存体系》（Systems of Survival）。她针对腐败的本质提出了一套精妙的社会学理论。我们在某种层面上知道人为什么会被腐败所诱惑，但她引入了一个更高维度的概念……
Systems of Survival by Jane Jacobs. She comes up with an elegant social theory behind the nature of corruption. We know on a certain level why people can be seduced by corruption, but she introduces a higher level concept…
…(a) increasing exports, and (b) substituting imports, both of which get hosed by too strong a currency. (at least according to Jane Jacobs, "The Economy of Cities". Most of her books are good, and "Systems of Survival" might even be relevant to the current US administration) Germany used the post-Plaza strong DM for reunification. Even after adding NIIP to accumulated GDP, I can't figure out what large aggregate…

……(a) 扩大出口，以及 (b) 进口替代，而这两者都会被过于坚挺的货币搞垮。（至少按照简·雅各布斯的《城市经济》来看是这样。她大部分书都很棒，《生存体系》甚至可能对现任美国政府也有参考价值。）德国在广场协议后利用坚挺的马克完成了统一。即使把NIIP加到累计GDP里，我也想不出什么大型总量……
