Introduction T he last quarter century has witnessed remarkable progress of mankind. The world’s per capita inflation-adjusted income rose from $5,400 in 1980 to $8,500 in 2005. Schooling and life expectancy grew rapidly, while infant mortality and poverty fell just as fast. Compared to 1980, many more coun- tries in the world are democratic today. The last quarter century also saw wide acceptance of free market policies in both rich and poor countries: from private own- ership, to free trade, to responsible budgets, to lower taxes. Three important events mark the beginning of this period. In 1979, Deng Xiao Ping started market reforms in China, which over the quarter century lifted hun- dreds of millions of people out of poverty. In the same year, Margaret Thatcher was elected Prime Minister in Britain, and initi- ated her radical reforms and a long period of growth. A year later, Ronald Reagan was elected President of the United States and also embraced free market policies. All three of these leaders professed inspiration from the work of Milton Friedman. It is natural, then, to refer to the last quarter century as the Age of Milton Friedman. The association between free mar- ket policies and social progress notwith- standing, economists remain divided in their assessments of this Age. Two recent books illustrate the divisions. A collection of papers edited by Leszek Balcerowicz and Stanley Fischer—Living Standards and the Wealth of Nations: Successes and Failures in Real Convergence (MIT Press, 2006)—endorses free market policies. A volume by Joseph E. Stiglitz, José Antonio Ocampo, Shari Spiegel, Richardo Ffrench- Davis, and Deepak Nayyar—Stability with Growth: Macroeconomics, Liberalization, and Development (Oxford University Press, 2006)—rejects them. A joint review of these two books allows for a brief look at both the facts and the disagreements. I begin this review by quickly summariz- ing the salient facts about the world economy and society over the last quarter century. I then consider the two books in turn. Andrei Shleifer *
dards rose sharply, while life expectancy, educational attainment, and democracy improved and absolute poverty declined. Is this a coincidence? A collection of essays edited by Balcerowicz and Fischer argues that indeed reliance on free market forces is key to economic growth. A book by Stiglitz and others disagrees. I review and com- pare the two arguments. * Shleifer: Harvard University. 03Shleifer.indd 123 2/24/09 10:18:01 AM Journal of Economic Literature, Vol. XLVII (March 2009) 124
2. Basic Facts Some of the central facts of economic and social development during 1980–2005 can be easily summarized in pictures. Figure 1 shows the evolution of world per capita GDP at purchasing power parity between 1980 and 2005. During this period, world per cap- ita income grew at about 2 percent per year. The rest of the figures are organized by region. Figure 2 presents the growth of per capita income for the main developing regions of the world. Figure 2 shows rapid growth in East and South Asia (the economic history of the last twenty-five years is indeed the story of Asia), slow growth in Latin America, and stagnation in Africa. Figure 2 also suggests that the so-called transition economies of the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe grew slowly during the 1980s, declined sharply after the beginning of economic reforms, but then expanded rapidly over the last decade. Figure 3 shows a remarkable decline in infant mortality in all regions, with the world- wide population-weighted average dropping from 64.5 to 37.5 per thousand births. Figure 4 presents data on life expectancy, revealing strong increases in all regions but transition economies and Africa. Figure 5 shows the gains in education around the world. Worldwide population- weighted years of schooling grew from 4.4 in 1980 to almost 6 in 1999. Figure 6 presents the now-familiar picture of growth in democracy.

125 Shleifer: The Age of Milton Friedman exceptions of China and the Middle East, the world has made significant strides in democratization. Latin America and Eastern Europe are the shining examples. The World Bank presents figures on pov- erty based on Yuri Dikhanov (2005). Between 1980 and 2000, the share of the world’s pop- ulation living on less than $1 a day fell from 34.8 percent to 19 percent. The World Bank forecasts that the number of people living on less than $1 a day will continue to fall sharply despite population growth, and account for 10 percent of the world’s population by 2015. Ironically, the Millennium foreign aid proj- ect argues that massive increases in foreign aid are needed to reach this goal—the World Bank forecast suggests that such increases are unnecessary to reach the 10 percent goal. Billions of people in Asia have been lifted out of poverty thanks to economic growth; Sub-Saharan Africa, with little or no economic growth, is where the really poor are concentrated. What about economic policies? Figure 7 shows that the world median (taken over coun- tries) inflation rate in 1980 was 14.3 percent; by 2005 that median declined to 4.1 percent. Figure 8 shows top marginal income tax rates, which fell around the world from the population-weighted average of 65 percent in 1980 all the way down to 36.7 percent in 2005.
Figure 9 presents official versus black market exchange rates, a common measure of financial liberalization. In the 1980s, most governments restricted foreign exchange transactions; by 2005 “black market” exchange rates have nearly vanished.

percent in 1980 to 13 percent in 2004, in par- allel with vast expansion in world trade. Finally, figure 11 presents much more recent data on trends in regulation, using the number of procedures an entrepreneur must follow before he can legally start a business (Simeon Djankov et al. 2002). These data are only available since 1999. Over the last six years, these data show downward trends, although East Asia and Latin America remain heavily overregulated. The message of these figures is simple. In the Age of Milton Friedman, the world economy expanded greatly, the quality of life improved sharply for billions of people, and dire poverty was substantially scaled back. All this while the world embraced free mar- ket reforms. Is this a coincidence? Two recent books disagree on the answer. 3. Balcerowicz–Fischer Balcerowicz and Fischer edited a collection of articles presented at a con- ference in Poland devoted to convergence among economies. Most of the contributions are country studies of economic reforms and their consequences. In addition to theo- retical and historical papers, these include studies of China, Chile, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Ireland, as well as the Former Soviet Union. The conclusion of the book is summarized by the editors more than once: “reliance on market forces within an open economy in a stable macroeconomic envi- ronment, with assured property rights, are the keys to rapid economic growth.” Milton Friedman would have put it better, but with the same idea.

Wing Thye Woo asks whether the extraordinary success of China is due to its embrace of free market policies, or the deviations from those. Since the beginning of China’s reforms, China specialists have argued that China succeeded in its transition because of its deviations from free market policies. First, there was the idea that China’s township village enterprises, with their uncertain ownership structures, were responsible for its success. Others claimed that China’s dual pricing system—in contrast to market pricing—avoided the bankruptcy of state enterprises, and thus helped economic growth. Still later, we heard that China’s delay of privatization and retention of a large state sector explains its success. Woo debunks the argument that the key to China’s success is anything other than its adoption of free market policies, and in particular of export- led growth. He presents a great deal of evi- dence, and his story is compelling. China, like much of the rest of Asia, succeeded because it embraced capitalism—including a largely open economy, financial stability, and reason- ably secure property rights for entrepreneurs, despite, not because of, the “Chinese charac- teristics” of its program. Anders Åslund draws attention to the extraordinary acceleration of growth in the former Soviet Union at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The growth has been pervasive, in both resource-rich and resource-poor countries, and has accelerated just as Eastern Europe began to slow down. Åslund was among the first to point out the explosion of growth in the region and to argue that market reforms have worked.

the former Soviet Union, and deceleration in Eastern Europe, is smaller government bud- gets and lower taxes in the former. There is much to be said for the huge success of low tax policies in many countries in the region during this period. But an important part of explain- ing the evidence is also the longer recession in the former Soviet Union: the fruits of free market reforms ripened in the late 1990s, five years after they did in Eastern Europe. The collection also includes a pair of essays —one by Thomas O’Connell and Diarmaid Smyth and one by John Bradley—on Ireland, the miracle of Western Europe. As much as any other country in the world, Ireland embraced the prescriptions of Milton Friedman: trade openness, low taxes, low regulations, and balanced budgets. “The main lesson from the Irish experience is that there are certain key prerequisites neces- sary to sustain high growth—namely, sound macroeconomic policies, a strong commit- ment to free trade, a lightly regulated com- petitive microeconomic environment, and a well-educated and flexible labor force” (p. 285). Starting as one of Western Europe’s laggards, Ireland became the richest country of the region in the span of one generation. Nearly all the essays in the volume note roles of fiscal restraint and low inflation in encouraging economic growth. This is true about essays on wealthy economies joining the European Union, such as Spain, and those on developing countries, such as Chile. The Chile essay, by Vittorio Corbo L. and Leonardo Hernández T., includes a convinc- ing discussion of the role of responsible fiscal policy and financial regulation in allowing the Education 10 8 6 4 2 1980 1985

Corbo and Hernández briefly mention capital controls in Chile (a subject I later return to), but do not give them much credit for Chile’s stability, and approvingly report their abolition in 2001. Interestingly, the Balcerowicz–Fischer book is framed in terms of not just growth, but convergence. There is no talk of per- manent backwardness, or of fundamental irreversible differences between, say, transi- tion economies and the rich West European countries. Rather, the question is what poli- cies will accelerate convergence. Nor is this thinking confined to transition economies. When I visited Chile a decade ago, its ambition was to overtake Argentina. When I visited in 2007, the question on the minds of many policymakers was convergence to Australia and New Zealand. Such talk might be ambitious, but it shows where free market policies got the Chileans. 4. Stiglitz et al. The world is a much gloomier place in the volume Stability with Growth by Stiglitz, Ocampo, Spiegel, Ffrench-Davis, and Nayyar (hereafter Stiglitz et al.). The book is an extended critique of free-market policies and their advocates, and a proposal for alterna- tive policies. This volume does not deal with all the policies Stiglitz has embraced, such as state ownership and extensive regulation. It merely emphasizes the virtues of inflation and capital controls. Central to the organization of the book, Stiglitz et al. classify economists concerned Year Democracy 10 8 6 4 2 0 1980 1985

with policy into three types. The first is “stan- dard Keynesian” economists, who adopt the 1960s Keynesian model and focus on coun- tercyclical fiscal policy. Since most of these economists are long retired or dead by now, they receive little attention. The second type is “conservative” or “neo- classical” economists (this is an upgrade from being called “market fundamental- ists” in earlier Stiglitz books). Conservative economists, according to Stiglitz et al., rely on a neoclassical model that assumes com- petitive markets, rational consumers, and profit-maximizing firms. They do not believe in market failure and therefore in government intervention. They seek to achieve zero infla- tion and balanced budgets. Unfortunately for the world, in the 1990s these economists took over policy making at the IMF, the World Bank, and the United States Treasury. As a consequence, the world came close to an economic cataclysm. Finally, there are the “heterodox” econo- mists, like Stiglitz et al. “The heterodox approach attempts to bridge the gap by building a coherent model of the economy, based on realistic micro-foundations, which recognize that information and markets are imperfect” (p. 39). In this approach, neoclas- sical factors play a bigger role than they do in Keynesian models, yet market imperfections are also appreciated. In other words, hetero- dox economists are reasonable middle-road- ers squeezed between the two extremes of standard Keynesians and conservatives. Note the crucial rhetorical structure of the classi- fication: just as consumers faced with the choice of three toasters—an expensive one, Inflation in consumer prices (Annual %) 25 20 15 10 5 0 1980

131 Shleifer: The Age of Milton Friedman a cheap one, and a mid-price one—tend to pick the one in the middle, so a reasonable reader should avoid the extremes and opt for the “heterodox” position on economic policy. The image of Stiglitz as the man in the mid- dle might surprise those who see him as the academic spokesman of the antiglobalizers, but here it is. The deeper problem with the classifica- tion is that there are not many conserva- tives, as defined by Stiglitz et al., involved in economic policy making. Economists who have held high positions at the World Bank, the IMF, and the U.S. Treasury during the period in question can scarcely be described as Walrasian purists, let alone as conserva- tives. As Stiglitz et al. classify their targets, the traditional Keynesians are dead, and the conservatives are absent from the centers of economic policy making—abroad as well as in Washington, D.C. The book becomes a lopsided dialogue between the real (and heterodox) Socrates, and the fictitious (and conservative) Eutyphro. Setting aside the rhetorical methods, con- sider the two substantive issues that Stiglitz et al. address. The first is inflation. Stiglitz et al. argue repeatedly that conservative economists believe in balanced budgets and zero inflation, but that in reality there is not much evidence that moderate infla- tion is detrimental to economic growth. To bolster this claim, Stiglitz et al. present one of the few tables in the book, aptly entitled “Countries where inflation has not impeded growth.” The data for that table draw on a 1998 paper by Michael Bruno and William Easterly—Bruno presumably being one of Top marginal income tax rate 100

the “conservatives” who served as the Chief Economist of the World Bank in the 1990s. Bruno and Easterly find no evidence that inflation rates below 40 percent have adverse effects on growth. A more recent study (Mohsin S. Khan and Abdelhak S. Senhadji 2001) from the IMF presents evidence that the thresholds beyond which inflation has adverse effects on growth are lower, at 11 to 12 percent, not zero. The point is not that there are literally no advocates of zero inflation for develop- ing countries. I am sure there are some, although I did not find them, for example, in the Balcerowicz–Fischer volume. Rather, Stiglitz et al. claim for themselves the views that seem rather conventional in the corridors of power. And they express little concern for the huge costs that high inflation has brought to countries that lost control of their fiscal policy, including many Latin American and transition economies. The second policy that Stigltz et al. attack is capital market liberalization. Instead, they favor capital controls as a way to stem the inflow and the outflow of speculative finance. In this, Stiglitz et al. clearly do not share the views of the authors of papers in Balcerowicz–Fischer, who generally see the integration into world capital (and not just goods) markets as an essential part of their nations’ growth strategies. Although the book presents little evi- dence, it repeatedly mentions the exam- ple of Malaysia as a country that imposed capital controls during the Asian crisis and that has recovered splendidly as a conse- quence. The question of whether capital Official vs. black maket exchange rate 10 8 6 4 2 0 1980

Prasad and Raghuram G. Rajan 2008). Ironically, Stiglitz et al.’s own data show South Korea recovering much faster than Malaysia (p. 183), a finding they do not mention. In contrast, it is uncontroversial that capi- tal controls in Malaysia have encouraged misallocation of capital and corruption—a key concern of the critics, which Stiglitz et al. briefly bring up and dismiss. Johnson et al. (2006) present compelling evidence that Malaysian capital controls encouraged corruption and benefited firms close to the Prime Minister. One way to give the readers of this review an overall sense of this book is with an example. On p. 70, Stiglitz et al. chastise conservatives for objecting to fiscal deficits by making “argu- ments based on the hard-to-verify notion of confidence.” “Despite how frequently con- servatives invoke the confidence argument, there’s remarkably little empirical research on the matter (including little research by the IMF which seems to rely on the confidence argument heavily).” Then, on p. 148, Stiglitz et al. attack George Bush’s budget deficits, equally severely. “What will happen, not just to the United States, but to the stability of the global financial system if foreigners lose con- fidence (emphasis added) in the strength of the dollar, if they worry that it will depreci- ate in value in coming years?” A reader might lose confidence in the rest of the book.

5. Conclusion The last quarter century of world develop- ment has presented economists interested in economic policy with many complex chal- lenges. To name a few, economies moving from socialism to capitalism and embracing market policies at first collapsed, and began growing only after three to six years. The rapidly growing and heavily market oriented Asian economies suffered major setbacks in the late 1990s, with major recessions that slowed them down for at least a couple of years. The economies of South America embraced budget discipline and privatiza- tion in the 1980s and 1990s, yet showed truly lackluster economic growth. Importantly, many of these regions ended the era in a spurt of rapid economic growth, but the troubles along the way raised questions about appropriate tactics of policy reform. Grappling with these questions improved our understanding of the workings of market economies, and of interactions between the state and the private sector. Transition has taught us that economic and political disor- ganization, combined with obsolete human capital of both economic agents and politi- cians, can sharply slow down the economic turnaround. The Asian crisis has reinforced the centrality of the financial system in the workings of a market economy, and exposed the vulnerability of that system to financial bubbles and generally imprudent financial arrangements. The Latin American expe- rience has laid bare the fact that private ownership and fiscal prudence yield only limited benefits in a regime of overbearing Year

135 Shleifer: The Age of Milton Friedman taxation and regulation. All these episodes taught important lessons for the tactics of economic policy making. Perhaps the crux of these lessons is to focus on the right problem. The two areas of the world facing most dramatic economic chal- lenges today are Africa and Latin America. When thinking about their growth perfor- mance, surely the most obvious problem is the lack of new businesses and investment, particularly in the formal sector. It seems highly unlikely that the central challenges have to do with whether inflation should be above or below 10 percent (so long as public deficits are under control), or whether there should be a 0 or 1 percent transaction tax on capital flows (so long as capital markets are broadly open). It seems obvious that the central challenges have to do with the short- ages of human capital, and with predatory regulatory and tax policies conducted by African and Latin American states. Indeed, my feeling is that reducing the burdens of (particularly corporate) taxation and regula- tion, and replacing extremely inefficient reg- ulations with more appropriate ones, are the central challenges facing many developing countries today. The World Bank has prop- erly drawn attention to the necessary reforms through its Doing Business report, and we have seen significant steps toward progress, especially among transition economies. But tactics is only part of a broader strat- egy. On strategy, economics got the right answer: free market policies, supported but not encumbered by the government, deliver growth and prosperity. And while a lot has been accomplished in the last quarter century, a lot remains to be done. Most countries have embraced responsible fiscal policies, but it is far from clear that such policies can survive the volatility in the world’s economy. World trade has a long way to go to become truly open. Many developing countries, especially in South Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa, urgently need government much less hostile to business. Many countries desper- ately need improvements in their legal sys- tems, including bankruptcy systems, to secure property rights. Indeed, many Sub-Saharan African countries are rethinking their devel- opment strategies, after several state-centered false starts. It is far from a foregone conclu- sion that their governments will make good choices. We have a long haul ahead of us. References Balcerowicz, Leszek, and Stanley Fischer, eds. 2006.
