【新唐人2013年09月23日讯】畅销书作家、美国《华尔街日报》中国分社前社长麦健陆（James McGregor）新作《共和国的长子们：揭开中国经济高速成长的真相》（No Ancient Wisdom, No Followers: The Challenges of Chinese Authoritarian Capitalism）中文译本最近在台湾发行。作为一个居住在中国超过25年的中国通，作者在书中提出〝中国权威资本主义〞的概念，对中共权贵把持的国企毫无节制的投资支出、资源浪费、贪腐盛行等方面进行了分析，撕破了中国经济所谓风光亮丽面纱背后的丑陋面孔。
麦健陆在新书中指出：倍受吹捧的〝中国模式〞，其实是一种独特的威权资本主义。中共所主导的国有企业享有国家最大的补助与市场保护，最终的目的在滋养庞大的国有企业站上世界舞台。
这本书的中文译本最近在台湾《天下杂志》出版。
天下杂志编辑邱小姐：〝中国经济的议题，一直以来都是天下杂志关注的议题，这本书本身从撰写的内容就是不一样，然后帮助台湾人更了解中国的一些议题，再来很多台商都知道，跟中国交易做生意，一直以来都不是简单的事。〞
来自美国明尼苏达的麦健陆，曾担任《华尔街日报》、道琼社等媒体派驻中、台两岸的高级主管，也曾出任中国美国商会（American Chamber of Commerce）会长任期达10年之久。长年穿梭在中国政商高层的他，目睹了中国所谓风光亮丽的经济成就背后，一般人所看不见的丑陋与黑暗。
美国〝南卡罗莱纳大学〞艾肯商学院教授谢田：〝我想这本书翻译出来，可能还没有把他的原意完全的翻译出来，但我想这本书又非常好，它实际上是一个把中国这个所谓的经济成长，真实的一面和那些假象综合在一起，比较系统化的完整的体现出来，对人类认识中国经济、中国企业有非常好的帮助，主要是资料搜集有些拿不到，或者理解不了。〞
麦健陆的新书分为5个章节，分别为：回到原点；政策与骗局；威权资本主义的难题；全球舞台上的地方戏曲；改造中国模式。
新书强调，中共是权威资本主义的总指挥与最大受益者。中共权贵把持国有企业的发展和对资源的掠夺，中共政权则对国企实行独特支持和保护。作者在5个章节中进行了深层的剖析。
美国〝南卡罗莱纳大学〞艾肯商学院教授谢田：〝中国改革开放，中国或者经济走向资本主义，类似资本主义的体制，那不是一个真正的资本主义，因为它没有资本主义的公平竞争、媒体自由、社会自由、法治这些因素，这实际上是种权贵资本主义，或裙带资本主义，即使在这种类似资本主义的经济发展模式之下，中国的老百姓并没有得到应有的好处，而是这整个过程变成中共权贵或中共共产党员攫取社会财富一个新的方法，这个就是中国过去三十几年所谓的经济高速增长的真实面目。〞
目前中国经济陷入困境，中共现任高层领导要进行改革，遭遇到根深蒂固的既得利益集团的强烈反对及阻挠。麦健陆在书中揭示，中国国企是一种投入驱动的成长，而不是生产力带动的成长。他表示，由于国企容易获得资金，都用这种资金来炒房，从而排挤掉民营企业生存的空间，也扩大了资金的错置。

New book reveals the ugly truth behind the glamorous appearance of China's economy
James L. McGregor is an American author and former China
Bureau chief at the Wall Street Journal.
The Chinese version of his new book, "No Ancient Wisdom,
No Followers: The Challenges of Chinese Authoritarian
Capitalism", was recently published in Taiwan.
As a China expert who had lived in China for over 25 years,
the author introduces the concept of "Chinese
Authoritarian Capitalism" in his book.
He gives analyses on China's state-owned enterprises
which are exclusively held by CCP bigwigs,
including their unconstrained investments, waste of
resources and extensive corruptions.
The book uncovers the ugly truth behind the "glamorous"
appearance of China's economy.
In his new book, James McGregor wrote that
"the much-vaunted China Model has morphed in the past
decade to a one-of-a-kind system of authoritarian capitalism".
He says the Communist Party's state-owned enterprises are
always provided with the best subsidies and market protection,
and the ultimate goal is to foster these to become
mammoth enterprises that compete on the global stage.
The Chinese version of McGregor's book was recently
published by Taiwan based CommonWealth Magazine.
Ms. Qiu, editor of CommonWealth Magazine:"The issue
of China's economy has always been a focus of our magazine.
The content of this book is quite unique, and can help
Taiwanese people know more about mainland China.
In fact many Taiwanese business people have learned that
dealing with mainland China is never an easy job."
Born in Minnesota, U.S., James McGregor has worked as
executive for Wall Street Journal's China and Taiwan bureaus
and Dow Jones & Company.
He had also been chairman of the American Chamber of
Commerce in China for ten years.
From his decades of experience working with China's
political and business leaders, McGregor has seen the ugly
truth that is little known by the average person,
behind the glamorous appearance of China's economy.
Xie Tian, professor at University of South Carolina
Aiken School of Business: "Maybe the translated version
can't fully deliver all the messages the original book carries.
However, I think it is still an excellent book
as it can really express the big picture behind China's
so-called economic development in a systematic way, and
comprehensively describes it's truth face and the illusions.
This book can help the world understand China's economy
better, because a big problem is that much of the data
on China is difficult to obtain or hard to understand."
McGregor's new book is composed of 5 chapters,
which titles are "State Enterprise Comes Full Circle",
"Industrial Policies and Deceptive Practices",
"The Conundrum of Authoritarian Capitalism",
"A Local Repertoire on the Global Stage",
and "Reengineering the China model".
McGregor's new book is composed of 5 chapters, which titles
are "Back to the origin", "Policy and scam", "Dilemma of
Authoritarian Capitalism", "Local opera on the global stage",
and "A reform of China model".
The book makes the point that, as the Authoritarian Capitalist
commander, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
benefits most from such an economic system.
The party bigwigs have control over all state-owned
companies and resources,
and the Communist regime is responsible for supporting
and protecting those enterprises.
In the 5 chapters of his book,
the author analyzes this system in detail.
Xie Tian: "Since the Reform and Opening up, China may
have developed into an economic system that looks
similar to Capitalism.
However, that is not real Capitalism because there is
no fair competition, freedom of press, social freedom,
the rule of law, or other factors like these.
So China's capitalism is indeed a kind of Authoritarian
Capitalism, or Crony Capitalism.
Even under such a capitalist-like system of economic
development, ordinary Chinese people haven't gotten
what they deserve.
The whole process thus becomes a new method for
party leaders or their followers to plunder social wealth.
This is the truth of China's so-called rapid economic
growth in the past three decades."
As China's economy gets into big trouble, the CCP's
incumbent leaders have proposed to make reforms.
However, their plan has been strongly opposed and
seriously obstructed by vested interest groups.
McGregor reveals in his book that the growth of the CCP's
state-owned enterprises is motivated by investment
rather than productivity.
As it is much easier for these enterprises to get capital,
they spend much of it investing in real estate.
This not only stomps out private enterprises' room to survive,
but also worsens misplacement of capital.
